Creating forms with change manage_relationship not loading values

I have a resource TodoTask that has a many-to-many with a Context like so

# in todo_task
    relationships do
      has_many :context_relationships, TodoTaskContext do
        destination_attribute :task_id
      end

      many_to_many :contexts, Context do
        join_relationship :context_relationships
        source_attribute_on_join_resource :task_id
        destination_attribute_on_join_resource :context_id
      end
    end

I’m trying to set up the form and change so that all existing Contexts are listed as checkboxes, and when the form is submitted, there will be a TodoTaskContext created for this TodoTask and Context. I have this working correctly in a unit test with a manage_relationship that looks like this:

  # in todo_task
     update :update do
        accept ...
        argument :contexts, {:array, :string}, allow_nil?: true, default: []
        require_atomic? false

        change manage_relationship(:contexts, :context_relationships,
                 value_is_key: :context_id,
                 type: :direct_control
               )
      end

and I’m creating a form in my LV like so

AshPhoenix.Form.for_update(task, :update, as: "task")

But the related contexts aren’t being loaded. When I log out my @form[:contexts], the value is always an empty list.

%{
  id: "task_contexts",
  name: "task[contexts]",
  value: [],
  __struct__: Phoenix.HTML.FormField,
  field: :contexts,
  errors: []
}

I’ve made sure my relationships are loaded just before creating AshPhoenix.Form.for_update, but that doesn’t seem to change anything:

    task = task |> Ash.load!([:contexts, :context_relationships])

Is there something wrong with how I’ve got my manage_relationship set up? Or is there something else I need to add?

Thanks!

Oh snap, just saw that. Happy to help, wasn’t really expecting that to land on main. So I’m assuming the related code change actually just prevents the BadMapError.

Thanks for all the help digging into this issue. At this point, I think I at least have a little better understanding, so I’ll probably tinker with my code and see if there seems to be an easy way to set this up so that we don’t need to manually transform the changeset data to get the values.

Where Next?
