Thanks for the reply. I still don't quite understand it though. I have a sales table that :belongs_to contact. In the fields list for sales, there is "contact" which currently brings up a picklist of contacts - which doesn't work because there are over 10,000 of them.
I tried overriding the contact field in application.dryml as: <extend tag="form" for="Sale"> <contact:><name-one /></contact: </extend> For some reason, this causes my index page for sales to throw errors that method "contact" does not exist. I don't know why the form would impact the index page at all. I'm sure I'm missing some basic hobo concepts here. I'm rereading Kerouac for additional inspiration!
