a-ha! thanks to both of you! I had no validations on submitted because I was trying to isolate the problem (but that doesn't mean i didn't want any), but indeed, it was the before_create evaluating to false. final version: before_validation_on_create :set_defaults def set_defaults self.submitted = false return (self.submitted == false) end Also, is it just me because I'm too new, or is the "before_validation_on_create" callback not talked about enough?
