set_attribute(:line, arg(:line)) sets to nil when argument is not provided
When using change set_attribute(:line, arg(:line)) and using input: {} in the graphql api, the line attribute is set to nil and persisted as null in the database, which erases existing field data
I expected that it would stay the same as the documentation says:
Use
arg(:argument_name)to use the value of the given argument. If the argument is not supplied then nothing happens.
I have to pass it this way to convert from geo_json to line_string, which uses AshGeo to map to PostGIS line string type
The only workaround I found is this
change fn changeset, _context ->
if Map.has_key?(changeset.arguments, :line) do
line = Changeset.get_argument(changeset, :line)
changeset |> Changeset.change_attribute(:line, line)
else
changeset
end
end
But I think there might be a better way to do it, or I might be missing something
Here is the model code:
defmodule MyProject.Geography.Street do
@moduledoc false
alias Ash.Changeset
alias MyProject.Geography
use Ash.Resource,
domain: MyProject.Geography,
data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer,
extensions: [AshGraphql.Resource]
graphql do
type :streets
...
mutations do
create :create_street, :create
update :update_street, :update
...
end
end
...
actions do
defaults [:read, ...]
update :update do
accept :*
primary? true
argument :line, :geo_json
change set_attribute(:line, arg(:line))
end
end
attributes do
uuid_v7_primary_key :id
attribute :name, :string, allow_nil?: false, public?: true
attribute :line, :line_string, public?: true
...
end
end
defmodule MyProject.Type.LineString do
use AshGeo.Geometry,
storage_type: :"geography(LineString,4326)",
geo_types: :line_string
def graphql_input_type(_), do: :json
def graphql_type(_), do: :json
end

Ah, I’ve fixed the docs. It just doesn’t work that way, and a custom change is likely the best way. You can do change set_attribute(:attribute, arg(:value), set_when_nil?: false) to ignore nil values, but that would prevent actually setting to nil.
