When you click submit, you're probably going through the "create" method (unless you've set the form to go somewhere else)... does the @columns['thing_general'] value get populated there (you've shown the code for the "new" method, but not "create")? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
