Create actable plus related acts_as product

[Svashta]

Not as much an issue as a question i have for my needs.
I get it when I create a Pen, it will automatically also create a Product (examples from the docs).
Which is all fine. But in this case I have to create Pen... which is a bit counter intuitive to me.
In reality i will always create new Product, which happens to be of Pen type.

So what I would basically try to ask is whether it is possible to have something like this in a view:

• new product
• select that it is a Pen
• open additional Pen related attributes
• create Product with Pen

As far as i am testing it, there is actually no way to create Product and related Pen records.
Only vice-versa.

Wouldn't be easier to have one (although more complex) form, than a separate forms for each of the types? I could be shooting in totally different direction and MTI is not even good solution to do it...in that case I would really appreciate any tips or tricks :)

I want display a product form and user select type (e.g Pen) and fill pen attributes before submit.

Anyway, thanks for your great gem!

That highly depends on your app, but nothing prevents that.
