Answer 1

As per the AA source code this worked for me:

  end
end

Answer 2

Another option:

def create
  params[:item].merge!({ user_id: current_curator.id })

I ran into a similar situation where I didn't really need to completely override the create method. I really only wanted to inject properties before save, and only on create; very similar to your example.

ActiveAdmin.register Product do
  before_create do |product|
    product.creator = current_user
  end
end
