How to specify default value for a collection of associations?

[Alex Savin]

Hey, everyone

Is there any way to specify a default value for a list of
associations?

<%= f.association :bookmark, :collection =>
current_user.bookmarks(:order => :position), :include_blank => false
%>

How do I specify default value here?

Thanks!

The selected value would be your "bookmark_id" attribute in the current form object. You can also give a :selected option that will be set as the selected item.

Did you add something to make it work?

I am using Mongoid and I don't use :include_blank.

= f.input :column_name, collection: ModelName.all, value_method: :_id, label_method: :name

It lists all options correctly, update correctly, but don't select the current value automatically when I am editing.

Was it supposed to work? How would I make it work?

Never mind, I understood what you meant. :column_name is the :association_name_id, because it is input for collections, not associations.
