    <p>When creating a new Person, how do I set its fields that are not included in the new.html.erb form?</p> <p>Here is the controller and form:</p> <pre><code>class PeopleController &lt; ApplicationController def new @account = Account.find_by_id(params[:account_id]) organization = @account.organizations.primary.first location = organization.locations.primary.first @person = location.persons.build end def create @person = Person.new(params[:person]) if @person.save flash[:success] = "Person added successfully" redirect_to account_path(params[:account_id]) else render 'new' end end end &lt;h2&gt;Account: &lt;%= @account.organizations.primary.first.name %&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;%= form_for @person do |f| %&gt; &lt;%= f.label :first_name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :first_name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.label :last_name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :last_name %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.label :email1 %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :email1 %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.label :home_phone %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.text_field :home_phone %&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;%= f.submit "Add person" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here are the models:</p> <pre><code>class Location &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :organization has_many :persons, :as =&gt; :linkable has_one :address, :as =&gt; :addressable scope :primary, where('locations.primary_location = ?', true) accepts_nested_attributes_for :address end class Person &lt; ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :linkable, :polymorphic =&gt; true end </code></pre> <p>The association method @person = location.persons.build works fine in the Rails Console. It sets the 'linkable_id' field to 1 and the 'linkable_type' field to 'Location'. However, after submitting the form the Person is created but these two fields are left blank.</p> <p>Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.</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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
