Question

Is there anyway for me to return the id’s of the nested attributes when they are created?

right now i return the id of the parent this way. Where @report.id is the parent.

format.json { render :json => { :success => true, :report_id => @report.id } }

I would like to do something like this….

format.json { render :json => { :success => true, :report_id => @report.id, :the_ids_for_the_created_nested_attributes => @report.icons.ids } }

Answer: Just put @report.icons in the response, then parse the json.

format.json { render :json => { :success => true, :report_id => @report.id, :report_icons => @report.icons } }
