I have two models:
Task and Context
Task belongs_to Context
Context has_many Tasks
In my form partial for editing a task, I want to have a drop down with all of the contexts where you can select one for the task.
I tried:
<b>Contexts:</b><%= collection_select("task", "context" , @contexts, "id", "fullName", {}) %>
which doesn’t work for setting with the current value.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Try changing the "id" param name in the collection_select method to
"context_id", or whatever the name of the foreign key is within task
model.
Let me know if that works.

Close. The solution I got to work was:
<b>Contexts:</b><%= collection_select("task", "context_id" , @contexts, "id", "fullName", {}) %>
Thanks for your help!!
