Hi Kevin,
thanks for your good idea.
I've tried this:
irb(main):001:0> require './db/config'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> p1 = Profile.new
=> #<Profile @name=nil @descr=nil @pmodule_name=nil @standard=nil
@active=nil @delete=nil @created_at=nil>
irb(main):003:0> p1.name = 'TEST'
=> "TEST"
irb(main):005:0> p1.pmodule_name = 'DESIGN'
=> "DESIGN"
irb(main):006:0> p1.save
=> true
irb(main):007:0> p2 = Profile.new
=> #<Profile @name=nil @descr=nil @pmodule_name=nil @standard=nil
@active=nil @delete=nil @created_at=nil>
irb(main):010:0> p2.attributes = p1.attributes
=>
{:descr=>nil, :pmodule_name=>"DESIGN", :active=>false, :created_at=>#<DateTime:
21214585031031383/8640000000,1/12,2299161>, :delete=>false, :name=>
"TEST", :standard=>false}
irb(main):011:0> p2.name = 'TEST_X'
=> "TEST_X"
irb(main):012:0> p2.save
=> true
irb(main):013:0>
And it looks good.
It's important to set the name (the key) AFTER "p2.attributes =
p1.attributes", then everything it's O.K.
Thanks a lot again,
Andreas
