[Rails] Adding records to a nested model through an association

Ruby on Rails Tuesday, August 14, 2018

Not sure if the subject is correct for what I am trying to do...

I am working on a School application and I added an Attendance section

There is an attendance record that is associated to a student record

The student record has an associated model called notes...

What I would like to be able to do is add notes to the student through the attendance record...

My Attendance record belongs_to :student

My Student record has_many :attendances

My Student record has_many :notes

I can access Attendance.student.notes just fine, but when I try to add notes through a nested form it doesn't like that...

Also just tried adding has_many :notes, through: :student and now I can access Attendance.notes, however when I add

<%= f.fields_for :notes %>

<%= f.link_to_add "Add Note", :notes, class: 'btn btn-xs btn-primary btn-padded' %>

I get an error no block given(yield)

Any suggestions on how to code the nested form? Is this a routes issue?
