Multiple rich text fields - ActionText

[stingo]

Steps to reproduce

I''m generating multiple rich text fields on a rails 6 form.

Actual behavior

Only first field is storing in the database. The remaining fields are not showing on the db at all. Can a form use multiple rich text fields?

module.rb
has_rich_text :content
has_rich_text :references
has_rich_text :footnotes

_form.html.erb
f.rich_text_area :content
f.rich_text_area :references
f.rich_text_area :footnotes

controller.rb
params.require... :content, :references, :footnotes...

System configuration

Rails 6:

Ruby 2.6.5:

@ChaseFlorom I was not able to reproduce this issue on Rails master and version 6.0.0.2. Multiple rich text fields are working properly and data is saved in the database for all the fields. If you could provide an app that reproduces the issue please let me know I'll try to investigate the issue. cc/ @stingo

Experienced this today after installing action_text from a newly upgraded Rails 6 app(previously 5.2).

Fixed this by manually assigning unique id attribute values to each of the input field.

Ex:

form.rich_text_area :first_description, id: 'trix_first_description'
form.rich_text_area :second_description, id: 'trix_second_description'
form.rich_text_area :third_description, id: 'trix_third_description'

I think the cause is action_text automatically assign id's to the rich text fields and uses only one id value to all rich text field it finds.

Hope this helps.
