    <p>I'm working on an app at work where users can upload files to a project. Right now I'm using paperclip, and all of the file info (name, file type, etc.) is recorded properly. </p> <p>The problem I'm having is that the users need to assign a category to each file. </p> <p>What is the best approach to implement something like this? I'm on my phone right now, but I'll attach any pertinent code when I get to work, if necessary. </p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Here's more info on the setup.<br> I need to assign the file type (which is more like a category than a file type. I didn't name the fields!) So all of the info is in a single table. Although <code>accepts_nested_attributes</code> will definitely come in handy down the road!</p> <p>Here's the table structure. All of the <code>document_</code> fields are set by paperclip. The only one that needs user input is the <code>file_type</code> field.</p> <pre><code>+-----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | document_file_name | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | document_content_type | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | document_file_size | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | document_updated_at | datetime | YES | | NULL | | | project_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | | | user_id | int(11) | YES | MUL | NULL | | | file_type | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | created_at | datetime | NO | | NULL | | | updated_at | datetime | NO | | NULL | | +-----------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ </code></pre>

    1. COnot sure if i understand the problem, but for multiple file upload at once i suggest you checkout `accepts nested attributes for` in ActiveRecord

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.
