I have a list of steps.

My step controller has the following method:

def display\_stepinfo  
@step = Step.find(params[:id])  
@metrics = @step.step\_metrics  
end

Upon clicking a step, its metrics are displayed on a new page. On this  
page I would also like to display a step field (step.name) of the step  
that was previously selected.

Can anyone help me figuring out how to insert such a field?
