    <p>Background: I have an application with athletes, each of these athletes (Athlete model) can be assigned workouts (Workout model, workout_assignment through model).</p> <p>Problem: At first I thought that using a through connection with athletes having many workouts through workout_assignment and workouts having many athletes through workout_assignment would work fine for me. If I did it this way however, if I assigned a workout to 50 athletes, they would all be referencing the same workout record. I want a coach (the person who assigns workouts) to be able to assign the same workout to 50 athletes but then be able to change them one by one if he wishes (customize for the athletes). Does anyone have advice for me on how to approach this? Do I need to create 50 copies of the workout and assign each to a user, do I really need the workout_assignment through model then if I have separate workouts?</p> <p>Thank you for any advice you can give!</p> <p>Schema:</p> <pre><code> create_table "athletes", :force =&gt; true do |t| t.string "name" t.string "username" t.string "password" t.string "sport" t.text "notes" t.integer "coach_id" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" end create_table "coaches", :force =&gt; true do |t| t.string "name" t.string "username" t.string "password" t.string "address" t.string "city" t.string "state" t.string "zipcode" t.string "phone" t.string "sports" t.integer "experience" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" t.string "crypted_password" t.string "password_salt" t.string "persistence_token" end create_table "workout_assignments", :force =&gt; true do |t| t.integer "athlete_id" t.integer "workout_id" t.date "date_assigned" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" end create_table "workouts", :force =&gt; true do |t| t.string "name" t.string "type" t.integer "coach_id" t.text "description" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" t.integer "category_id" end </code></pre> <p>Model Associations:</p> <pre><code>class Athlete &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :coach has_many :workouts, :through =&gt; :workout_assignments end class Workout &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :athletes, :through =&gt; :workout_assignments belongs_to :category end class WorkoutAssignment &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :workout belongs_to :athlete end class Coach &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :athletes has_many :workouts end </code></pre>

    1. COHow are your workout records associated? It would be helpful if you could post a schema that had your models and either all the `has_many` or `belongs_to` relations, or has all the `athlete_id`, `workout_id`, and other fields.

    2. COOkay I added them to my original post. I am struggling with the best way to set this up so I can assign workouts to athletes normally but also multiple athletes at once (but have them individually able to change after that). Thank you for your help!

    3. COYou may want to tag this as a database thing rather than ruby on rails.

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.
