How to override rails_admin edit fields

I want to include dropdown for the associated columns in rails_admin edit pages.

For example I want to select the user from the dropdown in contact edit.

In my config/initializers/rails_admin.rb

config.model 'Contact' do
  edit do
    field :user do
      partial 'edit_user'
    end
  end
end

I also have the partial in app/views/rails_admin/main/_edit_user.html.haml

but I didn't get the expected view. How to do this?

I think (correct me if i'm wrong) that you want the field to be shown as a dropdown list of the users in your database. Have you read this page: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/wiki/Enumeration ?

You can create a enum method for the field in your model and in the initializer call it like this:

field :user, :enum do
   enum_mehod do :user_enum end
end
