I'm guessing you've got a many-to-many between Property and PropertyType; the 
issue, here as in Bob's case, is that auto_actions_for is somewhat specialized 
for handling a simpler sort of relation. To be precise, here's the case it's 
intended for:

class ParentThing
  has_many :things
end
class Thing
  belongs_to :parent_thing
end

class ThingsController
  auto_actions_for :parent_thing, [:index, :new, :create]
end

As you've both noted, trying this on either side of a has_many :through isn't 
so good.

As to your other question (regarding the selector + new form), you might want 
to check out Bryan's select-one-or-new-dialog in hobo-jquery; I'm not certain 
it will do what you've described, but it's certainly a step in the right 
direction.
