I've successfully set up a nested form from the controller:
def new @user = User.new @user.build_contact.build_address
respond_to do |format| format.html # new.html.erb format.xml { render :xml => @user } end end
and have edited the new.html.erb file to suit, with fields_for in the appropriate places. The form successfully creates contact and address records when saved, and I can see linked objects when I simply create them at the console. However, selecting edit from the index brings up the edit.html.erb view (practically identical to new.html.erb) but isn't populating the nested fields--only the ones from User get populated, but Contact and Address remain blank even though the records exist.
Do I need to change something in the edit() to populate the fields for the nested objects? I currently have:
def edit @user = User.find(params[:id]) end
Or do I need to change the view somehow to access the nested objects differently when I edit than I do when I create?
