Values stripped from form when submitted

[Martin Stabenfeldt]

Hi,

When I submit my form, the value form_id is empty, even though I could see it had a value when I inspected the HTML.

Any clue why it´s stripped? form_id is a virtual attribute on Feature

I´m running Rails 4

1 class Feature < ActiveRecord::Base
2   belongs_to :request
3   validates_presence_of :title
4   validates_presence_of :text
5   validates_presence_of :request_id
6 
7   attr_accessor :form_id
8 end

form.html.slim

 6 = simple_form_for([@request, @feature], remote: remote,
 7   html: {class: "form-inline new_feature feature#{n+1}" }) do |f|
 8   .border.padding10
 9     = f.error_notification
10 
11     .form-inputs
12       = f.hidden_field :request_id, :values => @request.id rescue nil
13       = f.hidden_field :form_id, :values => @request.id rescue nil

From console: 

  Processing by FeaturesController#create as JS

  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "feature"=>{"request_id"=>"", "form_id"=>"", "title"=>"sdf", "text"=>"sf"}, "commit"=>"Create Feature", "request_id"=>"43"}

FeaturesController

 1 class FeaturesController < ApplicationController

29   def create
30     @request = Request.find(params[:request_id])
31     @feature = Feature.new(feature_params)
32     @feature.request = @request
33 
34     respond_to do |format|
35       if @feature.save
36         format.html { redirect_to @feature, notice: 'Feature was successfully created.' }
37         #format.json { render action: 'show', status: :created, location: @feature }
38         format.js
39       else
40         format.html { render action: 'new' }
41         format.json { render json: @feature.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
42       end
43     end
44   end

78     def feature_params
79       params.require(:feature).permit(:request_id, :text, :title, :form_id)
80     end

Cheers,

Martins

 That should be :value, not :values
