Rails select helper - Default selected value, how?

Question

Here is a piece of code I\'m using now:

<%= f.select :project_id, @project_select %>

How to modify it to make its default value equal

Answer 1

If try to print the f object, then you will see that there is f.object that can be probed for getting the selected item (applicable for all rails version > 2.3)

logger.warn("f #{f.object.inspect}")

so, use the following script to get the proper selected option:

:selected => f.object.your_field
