Hi there,

when I create active scaffolding in a many to many relationship, I  
would like that my create/delete actions in the nested scaffold would  
actually erase one relationship between the two tables or create a new  
link between the two tables, and not delete the record itself in one  
table or create a new record of one of the two tables involved.

Is this possible with Active Scaffold?

Thank you.  
Alvaro.

Its possible you just have to customize the actions a little
