Shouldn't this work: "<%= item.check_box :recipient_id, :value => :recipient_id %>"
That outputs: <input checked="checked" id="request_thread_requests_attributes_1_recipient_id" name="request_thread[requests_attributes][1][recipient_id]" type="checkbox" value="1"> the value is wrong. All the checkboxes show value 1. Yet, this "<%= item.text_field :recipient_id %>" gets the right value?
