Hi all
Look at the following code from https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.Changeset.html#cast/4 about cast function:

iex> changeset = cast(post, %{title: "Hello"}, [:title])
iex> new_changeset = cast(changeset, %{title: "Foo", body: "Bar"}, [:body])
iex> new_changeset.params
%{"title" => "Foo", "body" => "Bar"}

Why the title is going to changed to Foo? On second line, it tells only the body field is going to be change!

Thanks

That isn’t what the [:body] list means. It means "Cast the :body parameter into the changeset. If there is already changes casted into the changeset, it’s just added to that. This is covered in the docs you linked:

cast/3 also accepts a changeset as its first argument. In such cases, all the effects caused by the call to cast/3 (additional errors and changes) are simply added to the ones already present in the argument changeset.

While elixir does let you chain changesets so you can leverage piping, the docs are incorrect.

The second cast specified that :body is the only value that can be updated based on the params provided, so :title will be ignored. This makes sense functionally which leads me to believe that it is a simple typo.

I added a PR for this here: Update changeset.ex by Olshansk · Pull Request #1958 · elixir-ecto/ecto · GitHub
