Hi everyone,

I am getting an error when i try to add a select in a nested form

The error no function clause matching in Keyword.pop/3

My select code:

<div class="field">
  <%= label f, :category, class: "label" %>
  <div class="control">

    <%= select f, :category_id, @categories, fn cf -> %>
    IO.inspect(@categories)
  </div>
  <p class="help is-danger"><%= error_tag cf, :category %></p>
  <% end %>
</div>

Update link to form as suggested by @benwilson512

I’m not really sure I understand why you need a nested form at all. :category_id is a field of the changeset. Nested forms are necessary when you are editing a value AND an associated (or embedded) value. Your form only messes with the top level changeset.

Either way, select does not create a nested form, you want inputs_for for that.

Please provide the full stack trace of the error, and it would probably help to link to the form within that code base.

If what you want is to edit the category_id field, just treat it like the :title field.

<%= select f, :category_id, @categories %>
<p class="help is-danger"><%= error_tag f, :category %></p>
