Thanks for looking at this Fred. You are correct. DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS is indeed defined in InstanceTagMethods. However...
below the module InstanceTagMethods class InstanceTag is defined as follows: class InstanceTag include InstanceTagMethods end I actually located it after some searching on google and using the tab- completion in console to arrive at: ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT<tab> ... ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_RADIO_OPTIONS ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTag::DEFAULT_TEXT_AREA_OPTIONS Redefining ActionView::Helpers::InstanceTagMethods::DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS in either environment.rb or in vendor/plugins/default_options/lib/ default_options.rb effects the change that I am looking for but in both cases I get warning like the following... work/rails/codata/vendor/plugins/default_options/lib/ default_options.rb:4: warning: already initialized constant DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS or work/rails/codata/config/environment.rb:5: warning: already initialized constant DEFAULT_FIELD_OPTIONS If I 'modify the constant' as shown in my original post I don't get these warnings.
