>From a syntactic point of view clearly something is wrong here:

because here args appear to be a local variable in the view and it is
unused.The problem is that I do not understand what you want to achieve. You have a list of messages and a link "click to add a message" that opens a modal containing a form. Why do you have a lick "click to add a message" for each past message? Anyway you have many such links but a single modal. How should the modal know which of the links caused the modal to open? This all happens client-side all the logic has to be in JS. Yet it seems to me you should have one one link and one form. Perhaps I misundrstand.
