Wow. That really is automagical. So now I have a nested form.
<customer>
(+)
If I press (+), I get
<customer>
<rental> (+)
and so on. I actually have nested "bill" and "payment" models under rental,
since I'd like to enter an initial deposit when the rental is created.
But when is Rental#new_for_customer called? When I press +, it seems it is
not. Even before I press + there are hidden forms already there - + seems to
just make them visible. If I want to populate the rental form after I enter
some customer data, what could I do? Putting code into the controller seems to
have no effect.
Alternatively, I could use a multistep "Wizard"-ish kind of pattern for
creating these things - it would just be cool to have them all on the same
page. Is there a way to combine these approaches? Use a multistep pattern,
but all on the same page? Or just *look* like its on the same page?
