Rails: Many to many polymorphic relationships

Question

See comments for updates.

I\'ve been struggling to get a clear and straight-forward answer on this one, I\'m hoping this time I\'ll get it! :D I definitely have

Answer 1

Have you pursued that brute force approach:

class Task 
  has_many :stores
  has_many :softwares
  has_many :offices
  has_many :vehicles

  def targets
    stores + softwares + offices + vehicles
  end
  ...

It may not be that elegant, but to be honest it's not that verbose, and there is nothing inherently inefficient about the code.
