I have a enum definition for my User model.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
enum program_of_study: [
:program_of_study_unknown, :program_of_study_cs, :program_of_study_ceg,
:program_of_study_is, :program_of_study_science,
:program_of_study_engineering, :program_of_study_fass,
:program_of_study_business, :program_of_study_others
]
end
And in simple_form I have:
<%= simple_form_for(locals[:user], wrapper: :horizontal_form, html: {class: 'form-horizontal'},
url: {action: (locals[:is_new] ? 'create' : 'update')}) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.input :program_of_study, collection: User.program_of_studies, include_blank: false, selected: locals[:user].program_of_study %>
<%= f.button :submit, class: 'btn-success' %>
<% end %>
However, it seems that although the program_of_study
of a user is 'program_of_study_science'
(by checking in rails console), when I render the form, the shown select element still has 'program_of_study_unknown'
as the displayed one. The correct one was not selected.
My solution in the end
<%= f.input :program_of_study, collection: User.program_of_studies, include_blank: false, selected: User.program_of_studies[locals[:user].program_of_study] %>
