I would ditch the :through association here and have: Milestone belongs_to :project has_many :tickets
Ticket belongs_to :project belongs_to :milestone Project has_many :milestones has_many :tickets This might seem like you're doubling up, but this best represents the real world model. A project has milestones and tickets can belong to these milestones. Tickets may also exist outside of milestones. With your initial model, you'd need to create tickets in order to create milestones - which is not correct. Hope that makes sense!
