Argh. What I’ve said is wrong. I can dynamically call AR setters in script/console.
Just not in my controller … sigh :).
def new @todo_list = TodoList.new @todo_list.send :name=, ‘testing method’ end
Show up properly in my form… Again, works for me 
If its still a problem, post some code and maybe we can find a little glitch you missed.
