Render a "new" form in another view

Rails
1

Hi!

I have a list where you can add items, where Items are nested inside
Lists.

So, now I want to render my form partial to create new items in the
Lists
show view. I want to be able to add items to the list without leaving
the
list through a link.

My _form partial looks like this
<%= semantic_form_for [@item.list, @item] do |f| %>
<%= f.inputs “Item” do %>
<%= f.input :title %>
<%= f.input :amount %>
<%= f.input :unit %>
<% end %>
<%= f.buttons %>
<% end %>

I have tried to just do <%= render ‘items/form’ %> which doesn’t work.
I
guess I have to send populate the @item variable when rendering the
template.
Also, I’m not sure how the form will know this is a new action and not
an
edit.

It will know because the @item won’t have an ID – @item.new_record?
will return true.
