    <p>In this particular instance they look like status flags that could be handled a few ways, but you've asked about select options so here's a solution for that method.</p> <p>Because you don't specify if you need to keep the values already in the table I've detailed a method that allows you to keep them by converting them to IDs (assuming they are currently strings), if this is not relevant then follow only the bold instructions.</p> <p><strong>Create a PostStatus resource</strong> (model, migrate, controller/view if you need the ability to change them).</p> <p><strong>Define the relationships</strong></p> <pre><code>PostStatus has_many :posts Post belongs_to :post_status </code></pre> <p><strong>Add values to your PostStatus table</strong> (if you have a live system with strings in the table you should match the existing post status strings here to allow you to convert the data (detailed below).</p> <p><strong>Change column name to post_status_id in the Post table, change its type to int. If this isn't live then just redo the migrate with the column as integer.</strong> If it is a live system you'll need to convert your data into a new column instead of just changing its type, the below is a suggested method.</p> <pre><code>add_column :posts, :post_status_id_tmp, :int Post.reset_column_information # make the new column available to model methods Post.all.each do |post| # Assuming you have a string with the option text currently: post.post_status_id_tmp = PostStatus.find_by_name(post.post_status).id post.save end remove_column :posts, :post_status rename_column :posts, :post_status_tmp, :post_status_id </code></pre> <p><strong>In your post form add a selectbox.</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form.collection_select :post_status_id, PostStatus.all, :id, :name %&gt; </code></pre> <p>That should at the least get you started!</p>

    1. COWhile this would work it requires another DB hit to get the status (in English terms for instance), or you'd have to eager load it during the fetch. Overall seems like more work for not much gain. Unless you wanted to dynamically manage Status options.

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.
