multiple belong_to associations & build

Hey guys,

I have a Comment model which belongs_to a Post and a User model. Now I want to be able to build a comment for this User and this Post. Does it really have to go like this:

@comment = @idea.comments.build @comment.user = current_user

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks, Jonas

well you can do @idea.comments.build :user => current_user

but that's about it as far as I know (and barring dirty tricks with
with_scope)
