I\'ve scoured related questions and still have a problem updating nested attributes in rails 4 through JSON returned from my AngularJS front-end.

You can also monkey patch parameter wrapping to always include nested_attributes by putting this into eg wrap_parameters.rb initializer:

    module ActionController
        module ParamsWrapper

            Options.class_eval do
                def include
                    return super if @include_set

                    m = model
                    synchronize do
                        return super if @include_set
                        @include_set = true
                        unless super || exclude
                            if m.respond_to?(:attribute_names) && m.attribute_names.any?
                                self.include = m.attribute_names + nested_attributes_names_array_of(m)
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end

                private 
                    # added method. by default code was equivalent to this equaling to []
                    def nested_attributes_names_array_of model
                        model.nested_attributes_options.keys.map { |nested_attribute_name| 
                            nested_attribute_name.to_s + '_attributes' 
                        }
                    end
            end

        end
    end
