# collection association e.g. has_many
owners = People.all
association_name = :photos
owners.each do |owner|
records = Array(whatever_you_want)
association = owner.association(association_name)
association.loaded!
association.target.concat(records)
records.each { |record| association.set_inverse_instance(record) }
end
# singular association e.g. has_one
owners = People.all
association_name = :photos
owners.each do |owner|
record = whatever_you_want
association = owner.association(association_name)
association.target = record
association.set_inverse_instance(record)
