've just started working on this again after some time off.
In response to Fred's suggestion regarding input names, I looked into it
and found you can specify custom input names in simple form like this:
<span class="impact-input">
<%= f.input :impact, required: false, :error => false, input_html: {
class: 'form-control', :name => "impact[]" } %>
</span>
<span class="likelihood-input">
<%= f.input :likelihood, required: false, :error => false, input_html: {
class: 'form-control', :name => "likelihood[]" } %>
</span>
Note the ":name => " addition in the input_html attribute.
Now this has not fixed the problem at all with regards to app behaviour.
However the error message ("unpermitted parameters...") in terminal has
disappeared when I attempt to submit a risk:

You can still see that the impact and likelihood fields are still omitted
during the commit. Maybe this is because they are being passed in as
strings (denoted by the quotes around the values you can see being passed
in the terminal output above), even though the array is explicitly integer?
I have tried forcing integers like this, but it has made no difference:
<span class="impact-input">
<%= f.input :impact, as: :integer, required: false, :error => false,
input_html: { class: 'form-control', :name => "impact[]" } %>
</span>
<span class="likelihood-input">
<%= f.input :likelihood, as: :integer, required: false, :error => false,
input_html: { class: 'form-control', :name => "likelihood[]" } %>
</span>
So I'm still stuck! If I change the input name like I have, would I have to
adjust anything else in my application? This is my first rails project so
forgive me if the answer to that is an obvious 'of course'.
Thank you both for your help thus far.
