Simple_Form prepopulate associations

[jrode...@outlook.com]

Hello,

I have the following structure

Projects has_many tasks

Task has_many task_objects

Task has_many_teams

I have implemented the usual workflow without problem but am looking to add a category field to project that will then auto-generate a pre-defined set of associated tasks and task_objects 

eg If I choose a project of category Event I'd like the form to auto-generate tasks for travel & venue with their associated task_object fields such as travel from, travel to and location

Has any one implemented something similar? I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

How are you storing the tasks by type? Are those DB objects or just things that you are going to build in the controller? Are your categories actually models that have logic associated with them or is it not that complex?

Cheers

Hi John,

Project, Tasks, TaskObjects & Teams are separate models with their own controllers

Currently in the Project form there is a drop down for project_type (I'm not using Single Table Inheritance on the Project model). 

Then, using link_to_add_association I can add tasks and each task has a project_id.

Within a task you can add more associations for TaskObjects and Teams. TaskObjects and Teams have a task_id
