no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer

error is caused by line 4

1 <% @item_properties.each do |ip| %>

2

3 <%= f.label “#{ip.name}”.downcase %> 4 <%= f.text_area [:item][:item_item_property][ip.name.downcase.to_sym] %> 5
6 <% end %>

yup - sounds like you have nailed that one.

As you say; The error here is in trying to implicitly convert a symbol into an integer.

Isn’t it great how Rails (ruby) helps you out.
