If you notice the original code, #view_permitted? always returns true. Per Kevin's suggestion, I made #destroy_permitted? on the child return true as well, and the <input-many/> appeared.
This was very unintuitive for me, and I guess I'll have to code my way around it, something like this: def destroy_permitted? new_record? || acting_user.administrator? end Thanks all for your help! I really appreciate. Have a great day!
