default rails text area value with simple_form

I want to set a default text_area value.

<%= f.text_area :observations, :value => partner_setting.observations, :class => "tinymce", :rows => 4, :cols => 120 %>

But the field displays the same default text after replacing the content and returning to edit. How can I reset it after create?

Thanks!

If you want the text to persist on focus, try this instead:

<%= f.input :message, input_html: { value: 'hello hello'} %>

thanks for suggestions, I solved this issue through a helper method which takes 2 params (passing them from the view):

def offer_settings offer, key
  offer.send(key) || offer.partner_setting.send(key)
end

view:

<%= f.text_area :offer_greeting, :value => offer_settings(@offer, :offer_greeting), :class => "tinymce", :rows => 4, :cols => 120 %>

You will need a placeholder, otherwise it will erase your content.

<%= f.text_area :observations, :placeholder => partner_setting.observations, :class => "tinymce", :rows => 4, :cols => 120 %>
