Say I have the following schemas:
defmodule Articles do
schema "articles" do
field(:name, :string)
embeds_one(:foo, Foo)
end
def changeset(struct, attrs) do
struct
|> cast(attrs, [:name])
|> cast_embed(:foo)
end
end
defmodule Foo do
@primary_key false
embedded_schema do
field(:name, :string)
belongs_to(:country, Country)
end
def changeset(struct, attrs) do
struct
|> cast(attrs, [:name])
|> cast_assoc(:country)
end
end
defmodule Country do
schema "countries" do
field :name, :string
end
end
If I try to run the code below, I’ll have the error:
** (RuntimeError) attempting to cast or change association
countryfromFoothat was not loaded. Please preload your associations before manipulating them thr
ough changesets
attrs = %{
name: "An article",
foo: %{
country: %{name: "Fiji"}
}
}
%Article{}
|> Article.changeset(attrs)
|> Repo.insert!()
If I try to preload:
%Article{}
|> Repo.preload([foo: :country])
I’ll have the error:
** (ArgumentError) schema Article does not have association :foo

You cannot have associations in embeds, as this is not something databases support.
thojanssens1
@LostKobrakai what about this? Support preloading associations in embedded schemas by sebastianseilund · Pull Request #3368 · elixir-ecto/ecto · GitHub
LostKobrakai
That’s interesting. The fact still stands though in that it’s not a foreign key association, which is what one usually understands here.
However given this now exists. Are you on ecto 3.5?
thojanssens1
Yes Ecto 3.5. Maybe I did something obviously wrong, Ecto is quite complex. But now I’m really stuck with these errors.

Great news! Associations work inside of embeds. You have a small typo.
:country should be :countries.
I compiled it and it ran fine.
