How would this be solved outside Avo @sedubois?

I think we can use a random key like here https://trix-editor.org/js/attachments.js

Not always is required to do the record <-> attachment association.

I think creating an independent attachment with a random key and storing that key on the text should be enough.

PS: when attachment_key is specified than the record <-> attachment association is mandatory

@sedubois this is not an unexpected error. Right now Trix editor require a persistent record and an attachment_key to enable attachments. Beside, when you run the action from index none record is targeted, the fish record would be targeted if started the action from show view. We have an issue to set the record when only one selected record from index but is not implemented yet #2043

Closing since the error is the current expected behavior. Lets focus on the other trix related open issues to identify the weak spots and work on them.

I created this issue #2715 about all trix field current limitations
