You're not saving the child after you update it's value for child in @children do child.commissions_rate = @rate child.save end or for child in @children do child.update_attribute(:commissions_rate, @rate) end .update_attribute automatically saves, check the Rails API docs for more info on using this method. PS You're using a lot of instance variables there, which seem like there would be better scoped as local variables (ie drop the @ from the variables unless you need them to be accessible on an instance of the object - @destination is probably the only legitimate instance variable) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
