Hi everyone,

I am getting an error when i try to add a select in a nested form

The error no function clause matching in Keyword.pop/3

My select code:

<div class="field">
  <%= label f, :category, class: "label" %>
  <div class="control">

    <%= select f, :category_id, @categories, fn cf -> %>
    IO.inspect(@categories)
  </div>
  <p class="help is-danger"><%= error_tag cf, :category %></p>
  <% end %>
</div>

Update link to form as suggested by @benwilson512

Please provide the full stack trace of the error, and it would probably help to link to the form within that code base.

Thanks @benwilson512 for the suggestion I added more info.

OK so I use the nested without passing a fn then?

I’m not really sure I understand why you need a nested form at all. :category_id is a field of the changeset. Nested forms are necessary when you are editing a value AND an associated (or embedded) value. Your form only messes with the top level changeset.

Either way, select does not create a nested form, you want inputs_for for that.

Thanks I will check it out

Also to answer to you questions

I thought that this is the best way to achive what i wanted. But if it is not then please recommend a better way I have created this project to learn and understand phoenix so i am very open to any suggestions you might have.

Thanks again for helping me with this.

If what you want is to edit the category_id field, just treat it like the :title field.

<%= select f, :category_id, @categories %>
<p class="help is-danger"><%= error_tag f, :category %></p>
