when I use
config.columns{:type]...
I get a string display of the record id of the type, not the value of
the type itself in list; create, and update show a text box instead of
a select box; update does show the record id of the type record
when I use
config.columns[:type_id]...
I get the same display in list of the record id number, and create/
update show a select box, but it's empty - not even record id numbers.
And there is no value in the update select box, even though there is a
value in the record being edited.
I do try
def to_label
"Type: #{id}"
end
but that didn't seem to have any effect.
