ruby on rails - Multiple model.save's in 1 if condition with an unless -

i'm trying save response , save issue if it's not nil in 1 condition don't have multiple if/else conditions complicating logic.

for use case @response exists , issue nil, not if block.

is there obvious i'm not seeing or can not write logic in 1 line this?

note: know transaction should used, i'm trying working prototype right now.

  if @response.save && (issue.save unless issue.nil?)  # not if block when @response exists , issue nil     p 'in save'     format.html { redirect_to issue_path(params[:issue_id]), notice: success_message }   else     p 'not in save'     format.html { render action: 'new' }   end 

this have working , hoping there easier 1 liner rather this.

success = false  if issue.nil?   if @response.save     success = true   end else   if @response.save && issue.save     success = true   end end  if success   p 'in save'   format.html { redirect_to issue_path(params[:issue_id]), notice: success_message } else   p 'not in save'   format.html { render action: 'new' } end 

you want execute "success" condition when:

1. @response.save succeeded and
2. issue nil or issue not nil , saved successfully.

thus, can do;

if @response.save , (issue.nil? or issue.save)   # success else    # fail end
