This isn't a live system. I'm developing as we speak.

Right now I'm doing the following in my controller.

73 def create
74 @device = Device.new(params[:device])
75 @device.id = @device.device_id.gsub('-', '').to_i
...

(I dont care that I have two columns which contains the same data.
I've spend way too long time on different solutions already.)

However this fails to work in my update method.

91 def update
92 @device = Device.find(params[:id])
93 @device.id = params[:device][:device_id].gsub('-', '').to_i
...

The resulting error message is:
Couldn't find Device with id=777666

I've tried to @device.save after assigning to id with the same result.
