    <p>I am also having some difficulty trying to figure out what you mean, but between your last question and this one, I think I may understand most of what you are having trouble with.</p> <p>I'm going off the assumption that a 'statistic' is a single table row with columns for each of the 'stats' you are tracking. If that is the case, this should about do it.</p> <pre><code># character.rb class Character &lt; ActiveRecord::Base has_one :statistic end # statistic.rb class Statistic &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :character end # characters_controller def show @character = Character.find(params[:id]) end # characters#show.html.erb &lt;h1&gt;&lt;%= @character.name %&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;%= form_for @character.statistic do |f| %&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;label&gt;Statistics&lt;/label&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :strength %&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :dexterity %&gt; ... &lt;%= f.submit 'Update' %&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; # statistics_controller.rb def update @statistic = Statistic.find(params[:id]) if @statistics.update_attributes(params[:statistics]) redirect_to character_path(@statistic.character, :notice =&gt; 'Updated stats' else redirect_to character_path(@statistic.character, :error =&gt; 'Could not update' end end </code></pre> <p>I do think that things would probably be a lot simpler if the character table just had each of the stats directly on that table, so that the form could just be for a character, and you only create form elements on the show page for the stats.</p>

    1. COAwesome, thanks for the help! As far as making the statistics part of the character, I thought about it, but I'll have other elements such as combat abilities, skills, equipment, etc, and I didn't want to load all of these things into the character table. My thinking is that if I could figure out how to manipulate one additional model, I could extrapolate the code and use it for the others.

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.
