I tried to implement a simple model_logger table that is polymorphic
as logable. Wanted nothing more than a text field (log) that text is
appended to.

The ModelLog model just has a simple set_log method
  def set_log(entry)
    self.log << "\r\n#{Time.now.to_s} - #{entry}"
    self.save
    #puts "Model Log Saved  #{errors.inspect}"
  end

I also have a set_log in the logable model that creates the
polymorphic has_one if not there then calls the set_log in ModelLog.
Nothing difficult and it all appears to work in the console - commit
messages etc, but the above save does not appear to be committed. If I
add messages/lines to the record the appear until I get a fresh copy
of the record and it only contains the original created entry

I've spent about 6 hours looking at this I am stumped. I added a log
message to a show page and it has the same behavior. A message is
appended, but each call only shows the original log created message
and the last appended.

Below is console log that fetches a record, adds a message, displays
the changes, reloads the record and it is gone:
