In the view, when add a new row to a join table (A has_many :bs :through :zs). if one wishes to display and require the name value instead of the id value in the form partial, what is the correct procedure to follow?
The examples that I see usually provide a drop down selector that is pre-populated but I require the ability to simply enter the name value, return to the controller, look up the value, add the record if it is ok or return an error if it is not. In the partial do I create a local field and send that back or do I use the attribute a.b.name?
