As of rails 4 (or is it 3.2?) the generated association accessors are defined in a module (rather than directly on the class so it's easy enough to override them so you could do
class TestParent has_many :test_children def test_childen(force_reload=true) super(force_reload) end end To change it for all associations without having to do this on a per association basis would probably require some monkey patching inside the activerecord code - sounds brittle. As tamouse says if you use build/create on the association then you won't see this behaviour, although there can still be differences between the array thus constructed in memory and the array you'd get if you had selected from the database (for example if you have an order clause on the association, custom select etc.) Rails has been like this at least since the 1.0 days - I can't say I've ever run into particular issues from it.
