10/31/2022, 3:19 AMHello, beginner/intermediate here as well, learning a lot as I go.
I'm testing adding an input for vacation days for a store.
I want to be able to update a Store model with an array of dates (['2022-10-31', '2022-11-27'])
I've:
-Done the migration
-Added the new attributes to permitted attributes in the Spree initializer.
-Added a little shim to serialize the database text column as an array to the Spree::Store model.
-Then defaced the admin view to add the columns.
This looks fine (schema, no errors on boot, or when I update the Store via the new view).
But, when I go to save the store with a test array, it's not saving the new columns.
Am I missing something?

Is there a prettier or more ideal way to do this?

10/31/2022, 9:48 PMYup, I partially was just trying to figure out how to be able to modify/extend the controller and model logic. But, yeah I ended up not needing that at all. I think I just didn't do a server restart after appending to permitted_params or something. Working fine now, thanks!
