Hi,
I have a model with nested objects similar to this:
class Person < ActiveRecord has_many :addresses accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses accepts_nested_attributes_for :home end class Address < ActiveRecord belongs_to :person has_one :home end class Home < ActiveRecord belongs_to :person belongs_to :address end
In my form, I'd like to offer the user the option of selecting the address and home from a selection or add a new home/address in a text field. If a home/address is selected in the selection, I want to ignore the text field. If the renamed blank field is selected, then grab the text field. If the value in the text field is already used, then reuse the ID. I'd also like to propagate the "address" and "person" values to home, but it seems I can only do one or the other with build.
I've been able to get all the form magic to work, but saving doesn't go as planned. I have to intercept the save, but I'm not sure where the best place is. Do I override "new" and "update" or do a "before_save" or ... ?
Thanks in advance, Mike
