Actually the non-model specific fields you have should be available in the params after the model redirects back to the view after some validation errors.
So say the param / name of the param for the non-model field is subject, it's value will be available with params[:subject] so you can feed this to the field. Same thing goes for other non-model fields. Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Sagar.
