that's why I suggest changing Enum to turn symbols into strings internally: property :colors, Enum.new(:red, :greed, :blue) will turn symbols into strings not every string can be turned into symbol but every symbol can be turned into string, so it is safe for forms data any objections from other DM users? -- MK --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
