Follow-up, in the nested form if I have:
<div class="field">
<%= item.label :recipient_id %>
<%= item.text_field :recipient_id %>
<%= item.check_box :recipient_id %>
</div>
I get an output of
<div class="field">
<label
for="request_thread_requests_attributes_1_recipient_id">Recipient</
label>
<input id="request_thread_requests_attributes_1_recipient_id"
name="request_thread[requests_attributes][1][recipient_id]" size="30"
type="text" value="61">
<input name="request_thread[requests_attributes][1][recipient_id]"
type="hidden" value="0"><input checked="checked"
id="request_thread_requests_attributes_1_recipient_id"
name="request_thread[requests_attributes][1][recipient_id]"
type="checkbox" value="1">
</div>
So the ID I want is working for text_field but not check_box
