I have two models: releases have many elements, and elements belong to releases.
The action I wish to define imports all elements (making copies of them all) from one release into another release.
How do I determine if this action belongs as a member action on the releases controller, or a collection action on the elements controller?
I would put it on the releases controller. Now, if I can figure out why I would do that…
The best I can verbalize is that since it’s always operating on all the elements of a release, rather than ever operating on individual or ad-hoc subsets of elements, it seems to be a release operation rather than an element operation.
