Hi,

I have a form where I can select one attribute and it passed on to my database. Is there any way to make multiple attributes passed on to my database just via a change in the form? Or would I have to create a new model and have it pass through that way?

\<div class="form-group"\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= f.label :kind %\>\<br\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<select class="multiselect"\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\<%= f.select :kind, [['beer','0'],['chocolate','1'],['cocktail','2'],['coffee','3'], ['tea','4'], ['wine','5'], ['juice','6']], class: "form-control" %\> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\</select\> \</div\>

I tried adding a multiselect gem: [https://www.omniref.com/ruby/gems/bootstrap-multiselect-rails/0.0.2](https://www.omniref.com/ruby/gems/bootstrap-multiselect-rails/0.0.2)

and added the js as indicated here: [https://github.com/davidstutz/bootstrap-multiselect](https://github.com/davidstutz/bootstrap-multiselect)

But for my "f.select" button, not sure what I need to add? If I do the option list as in the plugin documentation, how would I make it save to :kind in my database?

Thanks, Fatima
