Well I Have this models

Localization  
has\_many :event

Event  
belongs\_to :localization

in the view events/new.html.erb

\<% f.fields\_for :localization do |L| %\>

```
<%= l.text_field :country %>
<%= l.text_field :state %>
<%= l.text_field :city %>

```

\<% end %\>

the events controller is ust saving the event model.

But when I submit the page I get “Localization expected, got  
HashWithIndifferentAccess” I tried to modify the controller in many  
ways, but this apper to be happening before arrive in the controller.

By the way, I will use this space also to ask you if there is a better  
way to associate an event with an location making easy to reuse the  
same location for different events and other models I will have?

Thank you

Try to specify in your Event model:  
accepts\_nested\_attributes\_for :localization

It should work, but typically it’s used from parent to child (when  
event subform is inside location form).

Also has\_many :event doesn’t have much sence – either has\_one either  
eventS.
