Saji, You might try using "create" instead of "build". In that case, it could look like this:
parent = Page.find_by_url('/services/news') child = parent.children.create(:title => "Floods", :breadcrumb => "Floods", :slug => "floods") child.parts.create(:name => "body", :content => "This is a page for flood news") Keep in mind that create and build might not work if the collection is empty or the original object is unsaved [1]. Your other alternative is to build the objects manually, then push it into the collection: parent = Page.find_by_url('/services/news') child = Page.new(:title => "Floods", :breadcrumb => "Floods", :slug => "floods") part = PagePart.new(:name => "body", :content => "This is a page for flood news") parent.children << child child.parts << part Also note in your second snippet that your part needs a name.
