Hello, I am having some problems using the after_save callback to update a field on another model, could anyone give me directions? Here is what I have:

class Model1 < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many model2

  after_save :update_field_model2

  def update_field_model2     self.model2.field = (SomeStuff+somevariable) * some_other_var   end end

class Model2 < ActiveRecord::Base   belongs_to model1 end

What is the right way to update the value of the model2.field from model1?

The way you do it looks fine to me. If you want to persist it you will of course have to do something like self.model2.save or self.model2.update_attribute.

What is the issue you're having?
