My application creates new records in a nested form. I want to record the ip address that created the record (assuming it was created from the controller in this way). How can I do this, given that request.remote_ip is not accessible in the model?

When a user creates a new record, it should be through a request with the nested form which is then handled by a controller somewhere in your application where you will have access to the client’s IP. You would then need to store that IP address as part of your model for later retrieval / display. Right? Or am I not understanding your question?

But at the point that the controller gets in on the action the models don't exist.
In the end I realised that there was a reference to a devise user in the record, so I could do self.request_ip_address = self.user.last_sign_in_ip in the before_create callback.
