Here's the model file:
class ProfileTag < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.create_or_update(options = {})
id = options.delete(:id)
record = find_by_id(id) || new
record.id = id
record.attributes = options
puts "record.profile_id is"
puts record.profile_id
record.save!
record
end
end
This gives me the correct print out in my log. But it also says that there's a call to UPDATE that sets profile_id to NULL. Here's some of the output in the log file:

I'm not sure I understand why the INSERT puts the value into profile_id properly, but then it sets it to NULL on an UPDATE.
If you need more specifics, please let me know. I'm thinking that the save functionality does many things other than INSERTs into the database, but I don't know what I need to specify so that it will properly set profile_id.
