  1. Let go of scaffolding and it’s “one-size-fits-all” content_columns. Embrace getting a little dirty with ERb and Rails.
  2. Simply alias the attributes in question. alias_attribute is your friend there!

Actually you don’t have to do number one there but getting rid of those scaffolding training wheels is a good thing. You gain a lot more control over what you can do and how it looks. Hope that helps.

It’s a bit harder than scaffolding but the payoffs are totally worth any effort you spend. Rails/Ruby is like a gift that keeps on giving.
