To be honest, I didn't really look closely at the model because I had
already categorized this as a Rails question by that point.

There was no way to be absolutely positive given the information
provided, but it could be reasonable to assume you were using a
generated controller with standard actions. Really, the problem was in
the model with the use of attr_accessible, which keeps other
attributes from being mass-assigned.

Of course, the question was still in the wrong place, much like
attr_accessible and attr_protected are in the wrong part of the MVC
trio. But that's a discussion for another day.
