I was having trouble hiding and showing elements on the form so I created a
separate action in the pictures controller to handle the submission of the
form that selects pictures to add to the person from existing pictures in
the database It attempts to create a new picture I guess because validation
fails :name cannot be blank
def add_from_pictures_create
if (params[:picture][:person_id])
@person=Person.find(params[:picture][:person_id])
@pictures = Picture.find(params[:person][:picture_ids])
@person.pictures << @pictures
respond_to do |format|
if @person.save
format.html { redirect_to
pictures_path(person_id: params[:picture][:person_id]), notice: 'Person
picture updated.' }
format.json { render :show, status: :created,
location: @picture }
