config.columns = [:type, ..] config.columns[:type].label = "Item Type" config.columns[:type].form_ui = :select config.columns[:type].description = "The type of asset you are creating." Create and update should show a select with all Type records. List should show the value returned by to_label method in the associated type record. If you don't define a to_label method, it will return name, label or title attributes if exists, or record.to_s (usually #<Type:memory_address>) > > I don't understand what you mean by a "name" column, but I don't > believe a to_label is needed; I have config.columns[:type_id].label > for the type field (and it's working).
