i have seperate tables called “messages” and “replies”
in messages,attributes are
t.column :user_id, :string
t.column :msg_id, :string
t.column :inbox, :boolean
t.column :sent, :boolean

in repliest, attributes are
t.column :user_id, :string
t.column :msg_id, :string

on replies table.at that instance i want to set the value true
in the sent column of the messages table. how can i do this?

try this

t.column :sent, :boolean ,:default=>true

no,i don’t want to set that variable always true,i just want to set it
true
when the user filled the form.

try
after_save in Reply Model

record.sent = true if (params[:checked] == “1”) #if the user checks it.
Add that line before saving.
