You might want to try inspecting the params in the controller, add a "raise params.inspect" into your update action.
I suspect that it is because you have not provided fields for with the parent form, like so: <% f.fields_for @account.owner do |i|%> If you don't put the "f." in front, rails will simply generate params that you can access via "params[:owner]", whereas you want something like "params[:account][:owner]". This is one problem, but there might be more. On Apr 7, 6:37 am, internetchris <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I need some help.
