I have a simple Rails 4 project with two scaffolded models: Practice and 
Practitioner. I have set these both as habtm and am in the process of adding 
checkboxes to the Practitioner form so that I can check off the practices that 
this practitioner belongs to. In the practitioners_controller, I added 
practice_ids to the practitioner_params permit list, but I am still getting the 
error:

Started PATCH "/practitioners/1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-10-23 16:35:34 -0400
Processing by PractitionersController#update as HTML
  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", 
"authenticity_token"=>"u9XWBVshMKmLg+YhVFWu10PTQu+uvAbbvBck4QQG6wk=", 
"practitioner"=>{"first_name"=>"Christine", "last_name"=>"Campbell", 
"degree"=>"CRNP", "accepting_new_patients"=>"1", "specialty"=>"Obstetrics & 
Gynecology", "secondary_specialty"=>"", "c_v"=>"Undergraduate Education: 
1988\r\nGraduate School Education: 1995\r\nAffiliations: Pottstown Memorial 
Hospital", "practice_ids"=>[nil, "1"]}, "commit"=>"Update Practitioner", 
"id"=>"1"}
  Practitioner Load (0.2ms)  SELECT "practitioners".* FROM "practitioners" 
WHERE "practitioners"."id" = ? ORDER BY "practitioners".last_name ASC, 
"practitioners".first_name ASC LIMIT 1  [["id", "1"]]
Unpermitted parameters: practice_ids

when I try to update. If I comment out the practitioner_params method, like 
this:

    def practitioner_params
      params.require(:practitioner).permit!#(:first_name, :last_name, :degree, 
:accepting_new_patients, :specialty, :secondary_specialty, :c_v, :practice_ids)
    end

then the form works correctly (so it's not an HTML issue or anything basic like 
that) -- I am able to set and unset the practice ids.

Can anyone suggest how I can keep the strong_parameters from Rails 4 but use 
habtm like this?

Thanks,

Walter
