i guess the select tag should be represented as form.select_tag

thank a lot but i used it , i have error this this

undefined method `select_tag’ for
#ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder:0xb788a2a4

use it as a symbol :organelle rather than as a string “organelle”
make sure the :organelle field is made available in ur model seqfeature

change like

<%= form.select :organelle, (["",
“mitochondrion”, “nucleomorph”, “plastid”, “mitochondrion:
kinetoplast”,
“plastid: chloroplast”, “plastid: apicoplast”, “plastid:
chromoplast”,
“plastid: cyanelle”, “plastid: leucoplast”, “plastid:
protoplastid” ])
%>

 and it will submit to the create action of seqfeature controller.

.There you can write the code as in def view
