Hello,

I'm learning MongoDB through the Mongoid Ruby gem with Rails (Rails 3 beta 3), and I'm trying to come up with a way to create dynamic attributes on a model based on fields from another model, which I thought a schema-less database would be a good choice for.

So for example, I'd have the models:

class Account
  include Mongoid::Document

  field :name, :type => String
  field :token, :type => String
  field :info_needed, :type => Array

  embeds_many :members
end

class Member
  include Mongoid::Document

  embedded_in :account, :inverse_of => :members

end

I'm looking to take the "info_needed" attribute of the Account model and created dynamic attributes on the Member model based on what's inside. If club.info_needed was ["first_name", "last_name"], I'm trying to create a form that would save first_name and last_name attributes to the Member model.

However, upon practice, I just keep getting "undefined method first_name=" errors on the Member model when trying to do this. I know MongoDB can handle dynamic attributes per record, but how can I get Mongoid to do this without an undefined method error?
