In my model i have:

PRIORITY\_TYPES = [  
['Trivial", “1”],  
[“Minor”, “2”],  
[“Major”, “3”]  
]

in my new entry form i have:

\<%= form.select(:status, Project::STATUS\_TYPES, :prompt =\> “Select  
Status”) %\>

in my view/project/list i have :  
\<%= h(project.status) %\>

but when my controller lists the project details it only shows the  
“id” of the select instead of the name in the model. How do i resolve  
the name to id relationship for the view?

any help you have would be great,  
Thank you,
