I am trying to get form submitted data be submitted to my database,  
however not matter what I try it won’t work. in script/console  
Model.create(args) adds to the database just fine.

index.

Could you post your code so we can take a look at the actual actions?

Hello,

The correct syntax is

Model.create!(@attributes)

with the bang/exclamation point (!) after create, before the  
parentheses  
(not in them).

See  
[create! (ActiveRecord::Relation) - APIdock](http://apidock.com/rails/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods/create)!
