Active Admin form drop down not saving selected value in database - drop-down-menu

Question

I am new to ROR and using active admin for generating a small app. I have belongs to and has many relation ships defined in the models. My app is working good for the pages where belongs to does not apply. In the page where belongs to comes into action I have drop down created by Active Admin, however when I select the values from drop down and save the form, values selected from drop down is not getting saved. below are my model controller and active admin pages codes. Please help me fix this issue.
ActiveAdmin.register Componentdetail do
models:
class Preference < ActiveRecord::Base
def permitted_params
params.permit preference: [:prefname, :prefdisplay, :helptext]
end
def preference_params
params.require(:preference).permit(:prefname, :prefdisplay, :helptext)
end
attr_accessible :prefname, :prefdisplay, :helptext
has_many :prefcomprelation
#accepts_nested_attributes_for :prefcomprelation, :allow_destroy => true
def display_name
return self.prefname
end
def input
self.id
end
end
class Prefcomprelation < ActiveRecord::Base
def permitted_params
params.permit prefcomprelation: [:comment, :preference, :componentdetail]
end
def prefcomprelation_params
params.require(:prefcomprelation).permit(:comment, :preference, :componentdetail)
end
# def to_s
# description
# end
attr_accessible :comment, :preference, :componentdetail
#acts_as_list column: :preference, :scope => :preference
belongs_to :preference
#acts_as_list column: :componentdetail, :scope => :componentdetail
belongs_to :componentdetail
validates :comment, presence: true
validates :preference, presence: true
validates :componentdetail, presence: true
#controller do
def new
#prefcomprelation = Prefcomprelation.new
end
def update
#prefcomprelation = Prefcomprelation.new(precomprelation_params)
#prefcomprelation.save
end
def create
#prefcomprelation = Prefcomprelation.new(precomprelation_params)
#prefcomprelation.save
end
#end
end
class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
def permitted_params
params.permit message: [:message, :componentdetail]
end
def message_params
params.require(:message).permit(:message, :componentdetail)
end
attr_accessible :message, :componentdetail
belongs_to :componentdetail
end
class Componentdetail < ActiveRecord::Base
def permitted_params
params.permit componentdetail: [:compname, :compdisplay, :prefcomprelation]
end
def componentdetail_params
params.require(:componentdetail).permit(:compname, :compdisplay, :prefcomprelation)
end
attr_accessible :compname, :compdisplay, :prefcomprelation
has_many :prefcomprelation
#accepts_nested_attributes_for :prefcomprelation, :allow_destroy => true
has_many :message
#accepts_nested_attributes_for :message, :allow_destroy => true
def name
return self.compname
end
end

class PreferenceController < ApplicationController
def index
#preference = Preference.all

Admin Pages
ActiveAdmin.register Preference do
end
ActiveAdmin.register Prefcomprelation do
index do
selectable_column
id_column
column :comment
column :preference
column :created_at
actions
end
filter :comment
filter :preference
filter :componentdetail
form do |f|
f.inputs "Prefcomprelation" do
f.input :comment
#f.inputs do
f.input :preference
f.input :componentdetail
end
f.actions
# f.input :preference
end
end
ActiveAdmin.register Message do
index do
column :message
column :created_at
actions
end
form :html => { :enctype => "multipart/form-data" } do |f|
f.inputs 'Details' do
f.input :message
f.input :componentdetail
end
f.actions
end
end
ActiveAdmin.register Componentdetail do
end
issue comes when I try to create new Prefcomprelation and select preference and componentdetails value from the dropdown menu and try to save.
same happens to the message page.

Answer 1

form do |f|
f.inputs "Product Details" do
f.input :name, :as => :select,
:collection => Product.all.map{|u| ["#{u.product_name}", u.product_name]}
f.input :description
f.input :image
f.input :quantity
end
f.actions
end
Try to add drop down like above and save select value in active admin.
