Hello everyone,
TL;DR: How to get a changeset with only embeds data?

I have some trouble understanding how cast_embed should work..

Let’s say I have the following “parent” schema:

schema "account" do
  field :email, :string
  ....

  embeds_one :user, User, on_replace: :delete
end

And the following (simplified) embedded schema and changeset for a user (also a JSONB in postgres):

@primary_key false
  embedded_schema do
    field :firstname, :string
    field :lastname, :string
  end

def changeset(%User{} = user, attrs) do
  user
  |> cast(attrs, [:firstname, :lastname])
  |> validate_required([:firstname, :lastname])
end

Now I’m using multi-steps form, so at one moment I only want to have a changeset for that embed only, so I have the following dedicated changeset for an Account:

def user_changeset(account, attrs) do
  account
  |> cast(attrs, [])
  |> cast_embed(:user)
  |> validate_required([:user])
end

I’m expecting with the following input to have an invalid changeset:

iex> some_account
%Account{
  email: "email@example.com,"
  user: %User{
    firstname: nil,
    lastname: nil
  }
}

iex> chgst = Account.user_changeset(some_account,%{})
#Ecto.Changeset<action: nil, changes: %{}, errors: [], data: #Account<>, valid?: true>

However, since the user has no firstname and lastname, I’m expecting that the changeset is invalid.
What am I missing?

If I include the :user in the cast:

def user_changeset(account, attrs) do
  account
  |> cast(attrs, [:user])   # <--- Here
  |> cast_embed(:user)
  |> validate_required([:user])
end

I got an error that casting embeds with cast/4 for :user field is not supported, use cast_embed/3 instead.
But this is what I’m doing…

I’m even wanting to do a similar embed-only changeset for another embeds_many :members which will be an array this time..

Thank you very much..
