Hi

```
 How can i use link_to in form to pass an already fetched row of a

```

table to an action.I can pass it by :id…But in action i have to again  
use the find method to get the rows again

in show.rhtml I have

\<%= link\_to ‘Edit Resolution’, :controller =\> ‘service\_desk’,:action =\>  
‘define\_sd\_resolution\_ui’, :id =\> @sd\_ticket %\>

Here @sd\_ticket contains title ,owner etc…Which i can print in the  
show.rhtml like

@sd\_ticket.title  
@sd\_ticket.owner

How can I pass the entire @sd\_ticket to action define\_sd\_resolution\_ui  
?(rather by using :id)…If I use the above link to then again i have to  
get data using find  
again  
Pls help
