I have a model called *Dataset* which registers an *after_save* callback to do some work when its *name* attribute has changed. This callback is manipulating a *DatasetLink *model but the association between the two is through another model called *Attribute.*
The scenario I'm hoping to come to an explanation for is this: Within the after_save callback, the immediate reference to the *Dataset *model that's changing returns *true *for *name_changed? *and *changed?. *However, when traversing the association to a *DatasetLink *record, the link's reference to the dataset has the new value for the name but it doesn't register the dataset as being changed nor the name being changed. It just has the new name. I'm on Rails 3.0.20. I'm wondering if this is the expected behavior or not. I've specified the *inverse_of *argument on as many associations as I could have. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
