If you have this specific data in your table, then I'm not sure what your
collection_select is meant to represent. Your data are unique at the row level,
so if you had a picker with id and name as value and label, which one of the
rows in your database should represent GroupA? The one with code 07A? 10B?
Those rows would have distinct id values, naturally. By that logic, what you
are seeing in your collection_select is precisely what I would expect to see.
Now if you only want to populate your picker with the "group name" and you want
it to be a distinct selection, here's what I use for that:
<%= f.collection_select( :nationality, (Person.connection.select_values('select
distinct(nationality) from people').sort), :to_s, :to_s, {:prompt => true}) %>
On an admin form, I usually combine that with a bit of JavaScript to create a
"combo-box" so the user can add new values to the picker at will.
