Hi,

I’m having trouble finding a elegant way to edit multiple objects in the  
same form (line items).

Can someone point a resource to a patter for the design of the view? A  
rails plugin can also be handy.

Thanks,  
Tiago F.

This thread might help, as will p. 499 of the Agile book (2nd ed.)

Thanks Dondi. That was what I was looking for. But my view is slight  
different since I’m using render partial for a collection. Anyway the  
code of the controller is straight forward.

Regards 🙂
