Problem solved. Here is the details in the case that it can be useful for somebody.
In short, I realized that I was really looking for form_ui documentation which explains well what happens. By default, ActiveScaffold displays a subform for assocations that allows creating and editing entities. Whereas I was looking for a simple select which can be obtained with: config.columns[:subentity].form_ui = :select This displays a simple dropdown allowing to choose between my sub- entities and that does not need to be validated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ActiveScaffold : Ruby on Rails plugin" group.
