I have resolved this: The situation was that update_attributes was only working on the second record in a nested form arrangement. To fix this problem I found that if I do this:
@matchup = Matchup.includes(:rosters).where("matchups.id =#{params[:id]}").first Rather than @matchup = Matchup.find(params[:id]) All associated records update via the nested arrangement. So now when I run @matchup.upate_attributes(params[:matchup]), it updates all records (and I have three levels of nested forms below the principal record). I assume that the problem was that using the #find method that for some reason that update_attributes might be having a problem with the associations not having loaded, where when I include the first main association and then call #first, the whole record (and apparently associated records) are loaded... given that when I implement the above, all the other associations start to update correctly.
