    <p>I've just started using Ancestry instead of awesome_nested_set and I would like to create a nested form so that I can create a parent account and many children accounts all in the one form. The problem seems to be that Ancestry doesn't allow you to create a child for a new parent.</p> <p>In awesome_nested_set I could do this in the rails console</p> <pre><code>a = Account.new a.children.build </code></pre> <p>When I type a.children I can see that new child in there even though my account parent hasn't been created yet. This allowed me to display a form with the parent account and a few blank children, then on submit I would just ignore any blank children and create the whole lot.</p> <p>If I try and do the same using ancestry I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>a=Account.new a.children Ancestry::AncestryException: No child ancestry for new record. Save record before performing tree operations. from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/ancestry-1.2.4/lib/ancestry/instance_methods.rb:62:in `child_ancestry' from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/ancestry-1.2.4/lib/ancestry/instance_methods.rb:132:in `child_conditions' from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/ancestry-1.2.4/lib/ancestry/instance_methods.rb:136:in `children' from (irb):8 from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:44:in `start' from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start' from /home/map7/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/commands.rb:23:in `&lt;top (required)&gt;' from script/rails:6:in `require' from script/rails:6:in `&lt;main&gt;' </code></pre> <p>Is this a limitation of ancestry? I there a different way in which I could create a nested form using ancestry?</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.
