Field values not being saved

[mbajur]

Hello! First of all - thanks for this excellent gem.

I'm trying to set it up for a custom cms i'm working on but having hard time doing so. I basically done everything as described in README but when saving the actual customizable form, my custom field values are not being stored.

class Node < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :node_type

  has_active_fields scope_method: :node_type_id
end

  <div>
    <%= form.fields_for :active_fields, form.object.initialize_active_values.sort_by(&:active_field_id), include_id: false do |active_fields_form| %>
      <%= active_fields_form.hidden_field :name %>
      <%= render_active_value_input(form: active_fields_form, active_value: active_fields_form.object) %>
    <% end %>
  </div>

    def node_params
      permitted_params = params.expect(node: [ :title, :node_type_id, active_fields_attributes: [ :name, :value, :_destroy, value: [] ] ])

      permitted_params[:active_fields_attributes]&.each do |_index, value_attrs|
        value_attrs[:value] = compact_array_param(value_attrs[:value]) if value_attrs[:value].is_a?(Array)
      end

      permitted_params
    end

And after submitting my form, i can see my params are coming in properly, no unpermitted attributes error is being produced and yet still, nothing gets stored in the DB.

Any idea what might be happening in here? Thanks!
