Ahmad,

the parameters you’re sending from your form should be like this :

{“utf8”=>“✓”,
“authenticity_token”=>“23oUfOBaYAmcrfhW3R11F1x53lJAT760Shv0HqkmEzw=”,
“user”=>{“username”=>“lisa”,
“profile_attributes”=>{“full_name”=>“Evalisa
Andriaasdasda”}}, “commit”=>“Save”, “id”=>“7”}

Update your form ( name attribute )

Ah, now the error has gone after making some change at user.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

has_one :profile
accepts_nested_attributes_for :profile, update_only: true,
allow_destroy:
true

validates :username, :uniqueness => { :case_sensitive => false }
end

Thanks for the help

Hi Vivek,

Ok, I’ve update my form to:-

<%= form_for :user, url: admin_user_path(@user), method: :patch do |f|
%>

<%= f.label :username %>
<%= f.text_field :username, :class => "form-control" %>

<%= f.fields_for :profile_attributes, @user.profile do |profile| %>

<%= profile.label : full_name %>
<%= profile.text_field :full_name, :class => "form-control" %>
<% end %>
<%= f.submit "Save", :class => "btn btn-primary" %>

<% end %>

But now I end up with another error:-
