I am attempting to create a feature where users can add an existing record, recipe
, to a collection of records, menu
. I am using collection_select with a simple_form to allow users to select multiple records from a list however, the form is not responding to the input_html: { multiple: true }
option, which should allow users to select multiple values. The form is as below, please let me know if any other code would be helpful for context.
Form:
<%= simple_form_for @menu, local: true do |f| %>
<%= f.label :title, :class => "form-component-header" %>
<%= f.text_field :title, :class => "form-field" %>
<%= f.label :recipe_ids %>
<%= f.collection_select :recipe_ids, f.object.user.recipes, :id, :title, input_html: { multiple: true } %>
<%= f.submit :class => "form_button" %>
<% end %>
.permit(....recipe_ids: [])
You need to update the permitted parameters in your controller. Now that you are sending multiple selections the parameter needs to be marked as expecting an array.
