    <p>Ok this is driving me round the bend. I have three models [which are relevant to this quesiton]: Outfit, Outfit_relationship and Answer. Outfit is the parent model and the others are the childs. The Outfit model looks like this:</p> <pre><code>class Outfit &lt; ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessible :user_id, :outfit_origin_id, :outfit_parent_id, :outfitrelationship_id #review before going live attr_accessible :item_id, :image_size_height, :image_size_width, :image_x_coord, :image_y_coord, :zindex, :outfit_id attr_accessible :description, :question_id, :user_id, :outfit_id has_many :answers has_many :outfit_relationships accepts_nested_attributes_for :outfit_relationships, :allow_destroy =&gt; :true accepts_nested_attributes_for :answers </code></pre> <p>Note that the 2nd and 3rd attr_accessible are to access the attributes from the other models. I'm not sure this is absolutely necessary, some articles say it is, some say it isn't, so I put it in.</p> <p>I've created a multi-model form for this data which I want to publish with one button. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_for(@outfit) do |post_outfit| %&gt; &lt;%= post_outfit.fields_for @outfit.outfit_relationships do |build| %&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;X Coord &lt;%= build.text_area :image_x_coord, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Y Coord &lt;%= build.text_area :image_y_coord, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Z Index &lt;%= build.text_area :zindex, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Height &lt;%= build.text_area :image_size_height, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Weight &lt;%= build.text_area :image_size_width, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;%= post_outfit.fields_for @outfit.answers do |build| %&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/br&gt; &lt;%= image_tag current_user.fbprofileimage, :size =&gt; "40x40" %&gt;&lt;/br&gt; &lt;%= current_user.name %&gt;&lt;/br&gt; Comment: &lt;%= build.text_area :description, :size =&gt; '10x10' %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;%= post_outfit.fields_for @outfit do |build| %&gt; &lt;/br&gt; origin id: &lt;%= build.text_area :outfit_origin_id, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/br&gt; parent id: &lt;%= build.text_area :outfit_parent_id, :size =&gt; '1x1' %&gt;&lt;/br&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;div id="ss_QID_actions_container"&gt; &lt;%= post_outfit.submit "Submit checked", :class =&gt; "btn btn-small btn-primary" %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here are the relevant buts of the outfit controller:</p> <pre><code>def new @outfit = Outfit.new @outfit.save @outfit.answers.build @outfit.outfit_relationships.build respond_to do |format| format.html # new.html.erb format.json { render json: @outfit } end end def create @outfit = Outfit.new(params[:id]) @comment = @outfit.answers.create(params[:answer]) @outfitrelationship = @outfit.outfit_relationships.create(params[:outfit_relationship]) redirect_to outfit_path(@outfit) </code></pre> <p>So the problem is nothing gets written into my database apart from the IDs. I'm sure I'm dong something stupid here, but can't figure out why. </p>

    2. CODoes it work when you move the attr_accessible declarations to their respective models? As it's only writing the IDs, that'd be my first suspect.

    3. COThe attr_accessible declarations are already in their respective models, I've only replicated them on the Outfit model. deleting it doesn't help either.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
