Yes I think you are right. My logfile is unavailable for some reason ("postgres cannot access the server configuration file...") but I inspected my terminal after attempting a risk insert and this output looks exactly like what you are suggesting:
Started POST "/risks" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-06-23 21:28:41 +0100 Processing by RisksController#create as HTML Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"LOgpMvsEGkhQaoZX5BkrX+Nw1Ov9QQaHuQqWO+L8peI=", "risk"=>{"title"=>"afafafa", "description"=>"aadada", "area"=>"IT", "owner"=>"4", "action"=>"fffaa", "date_of_action(3i)"=>"23", "date_of_action(2i)"=>"6", "date_of_action(1i)"=>"2014", "action_completed"=>"0", "impact"=>"12", "likelihood"=>"11"}, "commit"=>"Create Risk"} User Load (0.3ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."remember_token" = '1b3c0548b48b9f90cab54a695297436286ad0132' LIMIT 1 Unpermitted parameters: impact, likelihood (0.1ms) BEGIN SQL (0.3ms) INSERT INTO "risks" ("action", "area", "created_at", "date_of_action", "description", "owner", "title", "updated_at", "user_id") VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9) RETURNING "id" [["action", "fffaa"], ["area", "IT"], ["created_at", "2014-06-23 20:28:41.581267"], ["date_of_action", "2014-06-23"], ["description", "aadada"], ["owner", "4"], ["title", "afafafa"], ["updated_at", "2014-06-23 20:28:41.581267"], ["user_id", 2]] (67.1ms) COMMIT Redirected to http://localhost:3000/ Completed 302 Found in 73ms (ActiveRecord: 67.8ms) So yeah - "Unpermitted parameters: impact, likelihood". Looks relevant. I have done some research into it, and it seems like one could serialise their inputs in the model using: serialize :impact, Array serialize :likelihood, Array and I could change the array type in the schema to string. However, I would really rather keep the array as integers as it's going to make operations like averaging much easier without casting etc. Does anyone know of a way I can get these params accepted as integers? The problem might lie in simple form after all. (Thanks for your help so far Frederick!)
