I am trying to do a list of people in a collection that is shown with a partial. This part works fine. The trouble comes when I put radio buttons with each record for which family member gets the mail sent to that house. If the record for a person is new, the radio button returns ID instead of the id number that doesn't exist yet. How can I get the id of the record after it is saved and put it in household.hoh ? Here is part of the app. By the way, I'm still using 2.3.9 until these problems are gone.
Thanks Bob

household.rb def after_save person = Person.find(self.hoh) # Of course, this is 0 at the moment. I did after_save so the
person
record would be there to access, I just need the id of it now, self.first_name = person.first_name self.last_name = person.last_name self.middle = person.middle end
