Alright I wrote a test and figured out what was wrong turned out that I had the form submitting the data to the edit section of the controller instead of the update section. I fixed it and it all works out, when you use update_attributes it does use the override of the set method.
Now then my only question now is where can I put the universal methods that are going to be used by Models and Views, and Controllers / Helpers if they need to be used by them. I read somewhere where you would put it but since then I have forgotten and can't find it again.
