Populate Select box w/ data from another model

[jmp...@gmail.com]

Example: 

controller = hdlogs, model = hdlog   |  model # 2 = employee

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Form

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

= simple_form_for @helplog do |f|

   = f.input :tech, collection: [ "Level1", "Level2", "Level3" ]

   = f.input :user, collection: Employee.all(order: 'first_name'), prompt: "Choose a user"

   = f.button :submit

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to populate the select box w/ the employee names from the employee model

when user selects the name from the select box (dropdown) the form will be submitted to

the hdlog model. It is probably something so simple but it is driving me nuts...

Not sure what are you trying to do here, but if :user is a association
you might want to use `f.association :user` instead of `f.input
:user`. Please tell you more about your helplog model.

Using your examples

<%= simple_form_for(@hdlog) do |f| %>

<%= f.input :employeeid, collection: Employee.all, label_method: :employee_name, value_method: :id, prompt: 'Choose Employee' 

<% end %>
Try something like that
