I think there is a slight inconsistency in Rails regarding adding associations between existing records.
Assume Post has_many :tags. We have an analogy when we want to immediately add the association to either new or existing child: > Post.first.tags.create name: "my tag" # commits immediately > # and to existing tag > Post.first.tags << Tag.first # commits immediately But we don't have an analogy to build: > p = Post.first > p.tags.build name: "my tag" > p.save # commits all changes > # and to existing tag > # ? I think this is unfortunate, because I like the idea of building all changes in memory first and then commiting everything together. I have a project where this would be useful for me, but is currently not possible. Why not?
