I have a read action that I want to do some checks first.

To do that, I want to create some preparations, the first one will fetch some data, and the others will use that data to do some checks.

Here is the preparations that will fetch data and set as an argument inside the query:

defmodule Core.Feedbacks.Template.Actions.AllFromClass.Preparations.GetClass do
  @moduledoc false

  alias Core.Feedbacks.Class

  alias Ash.Error.Changes.InvalidAttribute

  use Ash.Resource.Preparation

  def prepare(query, _opts, %{actor: actor}) do
    class_id = Ash.Query.get_argument(query, :class_id)

    case Class.get!(%{id: class_id}, actor: actor) do
      nil ->
        # TODO give the error a code
        error = InvalidAttribute.exception(message: "Can't find class")

        Ash.Query.add_error(query, error)

      class ->
        Ash.Query.set_argument(query, :class, class)
    end
  end
end

As you can see, I get a class_id argument, fetch the class with it, and then I use Ash.Query.set_argument to add the class argument.

The problem is that this call doesn´t do anything, if I dbg the query after the set_argument call, the arguments field only contains the class_id argument.

sezaru OP

Looking at the source code, it seems that the set_argument functio will ignore if the argument is not an argument inside the action itself.

Is there some way to bypass that? Or should I store the data inside the context using set_context instead?

Correct, to store values to be used later on/passed between changes, you’d use the context.
