Have a look at accepts_nested_attributes_for and the fields_for form helper. This is a really well-solved problem in Rails. If you use simple_form, there are helpers in there for this pattern as well. And as usual, Ryan Bates wrote about this (and made a great gem for it) about a million internet-years ago: GitHub - ryanb/nested_form: Rails plugin to conveniently handle multiple models in a single form. and #196 Nested Model Form (revised) - RailsCasts
