I have a Rails form for editing objects of a particular class. The labels on the form need to vary slightly depending on which particular object is being edited.

The obvious way to do this would be to add an instance method to the model objects to return the appropriate label for that object. However, this would appear to be putting part of the view’s implementation in the models folder of my Rails project, and that doesn’t seem right.

Is there a better way to do this?

    My general guideline is that text is fine in the model unless it contains markup. If the text contains markup it belongs in a helper.
