I am trying to use two nested inputs_for with no success. Essentially, I have this (abbreviated for simplicity):
# CalendarApp.Calendars.Calendar
schema "calendars" do
...
# In the migration I have "add :working_hours, :map"
embeds_many :working_hours, WorkingHour, on_replace: :delete
end
# CalendarApp.Calendars.WorkingHour
embedded_schema do
...
embeds_many :time_intervals, TimeInterval, on_replace: :delete
end
# CalendarApp.Calendars.TimeInterval
embedded_schema do
...
# no more embeds
end
My object
%CalendarApp.Calendars.Calendar{
__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "calendars">,
id: 1,
working_hours: [
%CalendarApp.Calendars.WorkingHour{
id: "c8140693-be33-4f50-a087-653ce92fa3be",
weekday: :Sunday,
enabled: false,
time_intervals: [
%CalendarApp.Calendars.TimeInterval{
id: "0d31837a-d295-4d7b-984f-edfe18858f70",
start_time: ~T[08:00:00],
end_time: ~T[12:00:00]
},
%CalendarApp.Calendars.TimeInterval{
id: "e11b03a4-75be-4067-b477-733ebea6b31c",
start_time: ~T[13:00:00],
end_time: ~T[18:00:00]
}
]
},
%CalendarApp.Calendars.WorkingHour{
id: "a5a70b7e-577a-42b0-a2f7-4d396c3cd3ad",
weekday: :Monday,
enabled: true,
time_intervals: [
%CalendarApp.Calendars.TimeInterval{
id: "865aeea2-d234-47c1-aa1d-b8655c2909f7",
start_time: ~T[08:00:00],
end_time: ~T[12:00:00]
},
%CalendarApp.Calendars.TimeInterval{
id: "f80e3863-b801-4964-8c71-f7fca7d567ba",
start_time: ~T[13:00:00],
end_time: ~T[18:00:00]
}
]
},
...
]
}
how I am trying to present this data
<%= for whf <- inputs_for(f, :working_hours) do %>
<li class="pb-4 flex items-center justify-between">
<%= hidden_inputs_for(whf) %>
<%= label whf, :weekday, class: "text-base font-medium text-gray-900" do %>
<%= whf.data.weekday %>
<% end %>
<%= for intf <- inputs_for(whf, :time_intervals) do %>
<%= hidden_inputs_for(intf) %>
<% time_input intf, :start_time %>
<% time_input intf, :end_time %>
<% end %>
<%= error_tag whf, :weekday %>
</li>
<% end %>
Just the labels and the hidden fields are being rendered
<ul role="list">
<li class="pb-4 flex items-center justify-between">
<input id="calendar_working_hours_0_id" name="calendar[working_hours][0][id]" type="hidden" value="c8140693-be33-4f50-a087-653ce92fa3be">
<label class="text-base font-medium text-gray-900" for="calendar_working_hours_0_weekday">
Sunday
</label>
<input id="calendar_working_hours_0_time_intervals_0_id" name="calendar[working_hours][0][time_intervals][0][id]" type="hidden" value="0d31837a-d295-4d7b-984f-edfe18858f70">
<input id="calendar_working_hours_0_time_intervals_1_id" name="calendar[working_hours][0][time_intervals][1][id]" type="hidden" value="e11b03a4-75be-4067-b477-733ebea6b31c">

<label class="text-base font-medium text-gray-900" for="calendar_working_hours_1_weekday">
Monday
</label>
<input id="calendar_working_hours_1_time_intervals_0_id" name="calendar[working_hours][1][time_intervals][0][id]" type="hidden" value="865aeea2-d234-47c1-aa1d-b8655c2909f7">
<input id="calendar_working_hours_1_time_intervals_1_id" name="calendar[working_hours][1][time_intervals][1][id]" type="hidden" value="f80e3863-b801-4964-8c71-f7fca7d567ba">
</li>
...
</ul>
I’ve tried many different fields and structures for this form but without success. Does anyone know if this is even possible?

Oh, I can’t believe I spent the last two days trying to fix it and it was a silly typo
. Thank you for the help, it worked!
