Oh no no......this is laden with 500 errors I am afraid. Just putting in the config.columns[:graphic].form_ui = :record_select in my controller, with everything installed properly, blows it up. If I change it to config.columns[:graphic].ui_type = :record_select same thing (and yes, I do have everything installed for record-select, and I do have my partial set up correctly as well. I appreciate your recommendation, but this seems like a more complicated solution to an already-complicated problem.Thanks anyhow, but I will never get this to work. -Janna
