Following this example of virtual attributes I’d like to go down another level > **[\#73 Complex Forms Part 1 - RailsCasts](http://railscasts.com/episodes/73-complex-forms-part-1)** > > Short Ruby on Rails screencasts containing tips, tricks and tutorials. Great for both novice and experienced web developers. In other words create a form that lets a user create a project which has multiple tasks (tasks have names) which in tern have multiple steps (with their own attributes) What does that look like? project[task][steps][] Thanks, Arshak ---

That’s sounding complex. You might consider using “fields\_for” to try and get to the nesting without such a deep array stack. Look at the API docs for “fields\_for” to get an idea how you might do this. Ultimately, what I’d do is some trial and error with a debugger in the action so I could inspect the params hash. -Danimal P.S. It looks right, though. Ultimately, you’d end up with a params hash that would have something like params[:project] =\> { :task =\> { :steps =\> [1,2,3] } } so maybe project[task][steps][] is exactly what you need.
