This is my function which i am using to build an association with a tag (which is just a string) and a post.
defp save_to_tag_database(tag, post_id) do
tag_params = %{tag: tag |> String.trim}
post = Repo.get!(Post, post_id)
changeset = post
|> build_assoc(:tags)
|> Tag.changeset(tag_params)
|> Repo.insert
end
It ends up saving the tag but not the post_id
My schema is that each tag belongs_to :posts, Project.Post and each post has_many :tags, Project.Tag
My migration file current has table(:tags) :post_id, :integer, it used to be :post_id, references(:posts)
I have been trying to do this for a while now but can’t figure it out.

Thanks, saved me an hour of work

Essentially what happened was that I didn’t include
:post_idin mycast. Ended up making it likecast(params, [:tag, :post_id]). Also mybelong_to :posts, Project.Postwas wrong. It should bebelongs_to :post, Project.Post. All in all I won’t forget these little mistakes anymore!jwarlander
Great! Would you mind sharing, for anyone else who might end up reading this in the future with a similar problem?
