Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry, I don't think I expressed myself very well.
When I submit the form, every value the applicant has entered is
validated and passed to the controller. That means that if they enter a
value in the email field (for example) I can access this value in the
controller in the params hash, regardless of whether validation failed
or passed.
As this 'non-represented' field is only getting set after a successful
validation, it is not available in the params hash until everything has
been filled out correctly. Before that it always shows as nil.
I would like to set this value in my model with every form submission
(it is a hash which is always a different value per submission) so that
it is always available in the params has in the controller.
I really appreciate any help.
