Just off the top of my head and never done it but... could you reuse the params value to repopulate the field if the field has errors? I think it should be possible. Something like:
unless @your_object.save @your_object.your_attribute = params[:your_object][:your_attribute] if @your_object.errors.on @your_object.your_attribute render... end The syntax might be off but you should get it right easily if that's the case.
