This is fantastic Chris thank you, I'm curious how this would work for the edit view of the form?

You'll need to set the expires_in: nil parameter to have idempotent signed ids generated.
Document.find(5).to_sgid(expires_in: nil)

Documented here https://github.com/rails/globalid

This way your browser will be able to display the currently selected value from the list of options.

Chris, I usually don’t want to leak IDs so I use uuid columns for that, and also change to_param to return the uuid. Do you also think this is a suitable replacement for that use case?
