Confusion with Bi-directional Associations limitation

Arup_Rakshit · April 10, 2015, 10:52am

Hi,

I was reading this Bi-directional Associations topic in the guide - Active Record Associations — Ruby on Rails Guides. There I saw some limitations, they have mentioned. One limitation which I am not able to understand is :

for belongs_to associations has_many inverse associations are ignored.

Any light on this topic ?
