Thanks Kevin - that works, but I think I misspoke. The attribute is actually a selection on a separate table. So I can do the following and it works.
class A has_many AB has_many B, :through AB has_many D, :through => AB, :accessible => true class AB belongs_to A belongs_to B belongs_to D class B has_many AB has_many A, :through AB class D # this is the pick list. I want to store the selection on the join has_many AB has_many A, :through => AB problem is that this results in an additive list, where users can keep making selections. What I need is a regular drop down, where they can only make one selection. My reading about accessible => true, is that it does not work on a has_one. Is this something I could force in the view?
