  has_many :tasks
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :tasks
end

If you access project.tasks after setting tasks through the nested attribute logic, all tasks will be reloaded and all changes will be lost. This usually happens

• after validation errors, when rendering the view again

The attached initializer fixes those issues.
