Question

I have a basic model in which i have specified some of the fields to validate the presence of. in the create action in the controller i do the standard:

@obj = SomeObject.new(params[:some_obj])  if @obj.save   flash[:notice] = 'ok'   redirect... else   flash[:error] = @obj.errors.full_messages.collect { |msg| msg + '<br/>' }   redirect to new form end 

however when i redirect to the new form, the errors show, but the fields are empty. is there a way to repopulate the fields with the entered values so the errors can be corrected easily?

Answer 1

You render :action => :new rather than redirecting.
