@adrianthedev Thanks for merging my suggestion with this one.

I did have a go at using the tags field last night instead of text, but was getting an error and i think it was to do with it having trouble joining the value from the database with the array of suggestions from my model method.

Not got any code on me right now but i'll look this evening and post a complete issue if needed, but if you have any suggestions for how to use the tags field instead of text to allow a suggestion list that would be incredible!

I don't have a tutorial but that's achievable using mode: :select and fetch_values_from.

Ah, I don't think i can use that as it looks to save the value as an id. I need to keep the text field as a text field storing it as a text value, but with an auto-complete or auto suggestion of other values in the same field on other records.

update_using helps in this scenario, you can format the input before it's saved.
