Hi, I have a web-based form for applicants to enter their details, created using form_for :applicant
There is one field in the corresponding applicants table of my database which is not represented in the form. I want to set the value of this field in the model (it should be an unique hash). What is the best way to do this? Currently I am doing: validate do |applicant| applicant.check_things applicant.non_represented_field = 123456789 end This works, but the value assigned to the 'non-represented' field is only available after the applicants details have been successfully saved. If validation fails (i.e. if an obligatory field was omitted), this value is showing up in the hash of values that is posted to the controller as nil (which is bad as I always want it to be set). I would be grateful if anyone could give me an idea how to solve this. The only other thing I could think of was setting it with some kind of call back, but I couldn't get that to work. Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
