Seems a little odd what you are doing however to answer your question: You can add a text_field_tag or a select_tag to your form
http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/FormTagHelper.html#M001731 e.g. <%=text_field_tag :quantity%> You can then get that via params[:quantity] in your controller from there you can either pass to your model/business logic class or do a simple: 1.upto(params[:quantity].to_i) do |i| Product.create!(params[:product]) end Personally though I would seriously consider relooking at the way you are working and perhaps normalize your data so you have 3 models: location has_many :products type has_many :products product belongs_to :location belongs_to :type Then you can do the reverse and use fields_for to add multiple products to a location.
