    <p>I have the following model:</p> <pre><code>class Activity &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_many :clientships, :dependent =&gt; :destroy, :after_add =&gt; :default_client_info accepts_nested_attributes_for :clientships, :allow_destroy =&gt; true end </code></pre> <p>In my controller, if I perform the following</p> <pre><code> def new @activity = IndividualActivity.new(params[:activity]) @activity.clientships.build(:client =&gt; Client.first) ... end </code></pre> <p>and then save the form, it creates the relevant params and submits successfully.</p> <p>However, if I chose to call the following through a remote link</p> <pre><code>@activity.clientships.build(:client =&gt; Client.last) </code></pre> <p><em>the view is updated with the new clientship record but when I submit the form, the params[:activity] is not created for the second nested attribute.</em> <strong><em>(Why not!?)</em></strong></p> <p>This is the view:</p> <pre><code>%h1 Create a new Activity - form_for @activity do |f| %div = render "activities/client_selector", :f =&gt; f %div = f.submit "Save!" </code></pre> <p>Here is the remote_link's controller action</p> <pre><code> def add_client @activity = IndividualActivity.new(session[:individual_activity]) # Refresh client @activity.clientships.build(:client =&gt; Client.find(params[:client_id])) respond_to do |format| format.js end end </code></pre> <p>This is the add_client.html.js:</p> <pre><code>page.replace_html "selected_clients", :partial =&gt; 'activities/clients' </code></pre> <p>This is the activities/clients partial:</p> <pre><code>- form_for @activity do |f| - f.fields_for :clientships do |client_f| %tr %td= client_f.hidden_field :client_id %td= client_f.object.client.full_name </code></pre> <p><strong>Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this further?</strong> I seem to have come to a dead-end with my debugging... One thing to note, there is a double use of the following form_for used in new.html.haml and the activities/clients partial (is this problematic?)</p> <pre><code>- form_for @activity do |f| </code></pre> <p>I am on rails v2.3.5</p> <p>Thanks</p>

Guidance
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.
