Use a custom validator method that looks at the elements. See: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations_callbacks.html#custom-validators and use an array of bad elements with a method like so: badElts = [:put, :bad, :element, :values, :here] def validate record record.array_of_stuff.each do |elt| record.errors[:name] << "'#{elt}' is forbidden" if badElts.include? elt end end -Dave -- LOOKING FOR WORK! What: Ruby (on/off Rails), Python, other modern languages. Where: Northern Virginia, Washington DC (near Orange Line), and remote work.
