ActionController::UrlGenerationError in Avo::XXXX#new

[shiroemons]

Describe the bug

If show_on: :forms is specified, ActionController::UrlGenerationError is raised when accessing new page.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Hey @shiroemons. This is my bad here. I'll update the docs now. The associations can be shown only on the :index, :show, and :edit screens. The :create view is not supported at the moment.

It needs some information from the parent like id, reflections, and others. So the flow here is to create an item (no associations visible), then go on the edit screen and add them.

You can control what happens after the creation process is finished so you could redirect the user directly to the edit screen.

I'll close this for now, but feel free to re-open it ✌️

Hi @adrianthedev

I understand the process and have no problem with close.

I think this docs needs to be updated as well.
