I have an ActiveRecord model that references another model, and I wanted to get Best In Place to create a select dropdown with a list of areas for the user. For my scenario, I have a Store that belongs to an Area. In my model I have: ```ruby class Store < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :area ``` So in my view (I use am using haml): ```ruby = best_in_place @store, :area, :as => :select, :collection => @areas ``` In routes.rb, make sure the stores can be updated: ```ruby resources :stores, only: [:index, :show, :update] do (etc) ``` In stores_controller.rb: ```ruby def details @store = Store.find(params[:id]) @areas = current_user.visible_areas #... etc end def update store = Store.find(params[:id]) store.assign_attributes(update_params) store.save! respond_with_bip(store) end private def update_params params.require(:store).permit(:id, :area_id) # other fields in here of course! end ``` Please note that the update_params need to be (say) :area_id rather than :area to work. Also I haven't managed to understand what respond_with_bip really does, so this might need more coding.

Please see the commit comments for details on how to get this working - but please note that I was unable to run the bundle (and hence do testing with appraisal). Also I haven't managed to understand what respond_with_bip really does, so this might need more coding.
