Nested fields and strong parameters

Question

I am having a complex issue in Rails 4, which I will try to describe below. I am using simple form and awesome_nested_fields gems.

I have a bunch of events

Answer 1

Now that I think about it, it might be related to strong parameters. For update to work you need to allow id attributes also. In your permit params add id for speakers and any other nested nested resources in use that will be updated.

Please give this a try:

def event_params
  params.require(:event).permit(:title, :description, :type_id, :price, :program,
                              :start_date, :end_date, :image, category_ids: [],
                              speakers_attributes: [ :id, :name ])
end
