I couldn’t find the solution on google. Please help me if anyone has
encountered such an error and solved it.

Your variable name is “subject_name”

1.9.2p290 :002 > subject.new_record?
=> true

1.9.2p290 :003 > subject.name = “History”
NoMethodError: undefined method `name=’ for #Subject:0x8ab6e9c

Here, you want to use a variable with name “name”.

Could you try:

subject.subject_name = “History”

You could also change the name of the column with a migration.

HTH,
