options_for_select with multiple values

Question

What I'm trying to get is a dropdown with 2 fields (name and account_code) as a value

<option value="1">ACC: John Doe</option>

But current code

<%= select_tag :user_id, options_for_select(@users.map{|u| [u.name, u.account_code] }) %>

outputs the following: <option value="1">John Doe</option>

How do I make it display both user's account_code and name? Thanks!

Try this:

<%= select_tag :user_id, options_for_select(@users.map{|u| [u&.account_code+" "+u&.name, u.account_code] }) %>

Hope this helps you.

unfortunately I got the same error. Though it worked perfectly like this @users.map{|u| ["#{u.account_code}: #{u.name}", u.account_code] } Thanks for pointing the direction!

Worked like this:

@users.map{|u| ["#{u.account_code}: #{u.name}", u.account_code] }
