I fixed it by converting it to a hash: @booking.custom_data = params[:booking][:custom_data].to_hash if params[:booking][:custom_data]
I do think that Rails should handle this automatically though. There is no way to see this error by just using rails. You have to look at the actual data stored in the database to see that it stores more than just the actual data. I would suspect there are more people saving serialised attributes from a form and will have this issue without realising it.
