title: rails active record object in application controller
body: <p>I'm adding a site-wide form for asking questions on a rails site. The models/views/controllers for the resource <strong>question</strong> are already created. Going to question/new shows the form as you'd expect. Now I want to display a site-wide question form (the only difference with this one is that it only shows mandatory fields). Question: should I create a new question object in application_controller and pass that to the rails <strong>form_for</strong> helper, or should I create a new <strong>_form2</strong> partial(in the question view) and just include that in my site-wide template?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
