    <p>I asked a question earlier which elicited some great responses.</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/472733/how-would-you-tidy-up-this-controller-logic">Here's the earlier question</a></p> <p>On the back of some advice given there, I've tried moving the following controller logic</p> <pre><code> if params[:concept][:consulted_legal] == 0 &amp;&amp; params[:concept][:consulted_marketing] == 1 @concept.attributes = {:status =&gt; 'Awaiting Compliance Approval'} elsif params[:concept][:consulted_marketing] == 0 &amp;&amp; params[:concept][:consulted_legal] == 1 @concept.attributes = {:status =&gt; 'Awaiting Marketing Approval'} elsif params[:concept][:consulted_marketing] == 0 &amp;&amp; params[:concept][:consulted_legal] == 0 @concept.attributes = {:status =&gt; 'Awaiting Marketing &amp; Legal Approval'} else @concept.attributes = {:status =&gt; 'Pending Approval'} end </code></pre> <p>into the model, as so:</p> <pre><code>def set_status if status.blank? if (consulted_legal == true) &amp;&amp; (consulted_marketing == true) status = "Pending Approval" elsif (consulted_legal == true) &amp;&amp; (consulted_marketing == false) status = "Awaiting Marketing Approval" elsif (consulted_legal == false) &amp;&amp; (consulted_marketing == true) status = "Awaiting Legal Approval" elsif (consulted_legal == false) &amp;&amp; (consulted_marketing == false) status = "Awaiting Marketing &amp; Legal Approval" end end true # Needs to return true for the update to go through end </code></pre> <p>I am calling that from a before_save callback.</p> <p>As a default, both the consulted_legal and consulted_marketing attributes are set to false and not null, which is why I am testing for == false or true here, instead of asking </p> <pre><code>if consulted_legal? </code></pre> <p>for instance.</p> <p>However, this logic doesn't seem to be working. If I inspect the object, status is not being set to anything, ever. Can anyone spot why this might be happening? Have I got how attributes are accessed wrong in models, for instance?</p> <p>TIA</p>

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.
