Is there any idea not to select the name that is already choosen in token input? for example In first i select mango when i search for m. Next time again when i search for m Mango should not be displayed as mango is already choosen. Is there any idea? <%= f.text_field :plan_tokens, data: {load: @customer.plans} %> I study this from I have my js like this jQuery - $('#customer_plan_tokens').tokenInput '/plans.json' theme: 'facebook' prePopulate: $('#customer_plan_tokens').data('load') where to put preventDuplicates:true. I did try but error arise! http://railscasts.com/episodes/258-token-fields http://railscasts.com/episodes/258-token-fields-revised
