For some reason, I lost the ability to update after adding the helper at the end. Anyone else?

Unpermitted parameters: :task_12, :task_13. Context: { controller: ProjectsController, action: update, request: #<ActionDispatch::Request:0x000000010f9478b0>, params: {"_method"=>"patch", "authenticity_token"=>"[FILTERED]", "project"=>{"name"=>"something", "tasks_attributes"=>{"task_12"=>{"description"=>"text"}, "task_13"=>{"description"=>"text",}}}, "button"=>"", "controller"=>"projects", "action"=>"update", "id"=>"2"} }

Hmmm, I not sure but let me look into that for you and report back!

Well, looked into it further. Def a bug. Rails doesn't like when you try to send that stuff through with the keys for the tasks as dom_id's which is a bummer. I got a fix you can see here https://github.com/gorails-screencasts/dynamic-nested-forms-with-turbo-get/commit/adfe726005c89f1c71b81f1ddf63c797bddad80a
I'm gonna look into this more when a have some free time to see what else can be done here bc I feel like there's a better option. Sorry about that but thanks for bringing it up, Willard!

Thanks for the videos! One thought on the beginning part where you change the form to use task.hash. Why not just use that for all the tasks? If you include the ID as a hidden field, which I think you do in your code, I think Rails looks for the ID in the params hash anyways when updating existing records, right?

Hey Collin!

First of all I must say I enjoy your videos very much and appreciate the effort you put into them

From what I can see, the formmethod attribute in the button tag does not accept delete as an option (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#formmethod)

Is rails doing something to override that maybe?
