Rails - Jan 2009 - how can I set attributes in the intermediate table for a many-to-many situation??? (e.g. when trying to use the << method)

Hi,

It seems for the model scenario I have below if there was NO "amount"
field
on AiAllocation I could go:
    <account item>.business_items << <business item>

QUESTION: What''s the easiest way to allocate an account item to a
business
item in this case.  I really want something like:
    <account item>.business_items << <business item>,
<AiAllocation amount
value>


*Model Scenario (see below)*

class AccountItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :ai_allocations
  has_many :business_items, :through => :ai_allocations
...

class AiAllocation < ActiveRecord::Base
 * # Amount field *
  belongs_to :account_item
  belongs_to :business_item
...

class BusinessItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :ai_allocations
  has_many :account_items, :through => :ai_allocations




thanks
