Hi Rasmus, I ran into a similar thing - I found I needed to specify what the foreign key for ItemType was in the Item table.
In my instance class Assessment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User" wouldn't work but below worked fine: class Assessment < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :created_by, :class_name => "User", :foreign_key => "created_by" Hope it helps!
