Question

How do I make a simple form association have pre data when editing?

My form:

<h1>Editing kategori</h1>
<%= simple_form_for(@konkurrancer, :url => {:action => 'update', :id => @konkurrancer.id }) do |f| %>
    <%= f.association :kategoris  %>
    <%= f.button :submit, :value => 'Edit konkurrence' %>
<% end %>

Your best bet is to do something like this in your controller:

def edit
  @konkurrancer = Konkurrancer.new(:title => "hello wurld", :description => "blah blah blah", :nuclear_level => 10)
end

Then your form should automatically populate these values as “pre data”.
