Rails 4 object not saving when rendering form in another model - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have a Call model nested under Contact, a Contact has many calls. In the Edit#Contact view, I'm rendering the form to create a new call. When I submit the form, params are getting submitted, but the new Call object is not saved.
Note that if I just create a new Call from the New#Call view (form not rendered in Edit#Contact view), then the Call object is saved, so it's only a problem when rendering the form in the Edit Contact view.
console output:

Here is the updated form partial, rendered in contact#edit:
= form_for [Contact.find(params[:id]), Contact.find(params[:id]).calls.new], :url => url_for(controller: "Call", action: "create") do |f|
.form-group
= f.label :dial
= f.select :dial_id, options_from_collection_for_select(Dial.all, "id", "result"), class: 'form-control'
.form-group
= f.label :conversation
= f.select :conversation_id, options_from_collection_for_select(Conversation.all, "id", "result")
.form-group
= f.label :investing
= f.select :investing_id, options_from_collection_for_select(Investing.all, "id", "result")
.form-group
= f.label :timing
= f.select :timing_id, options_from_collection_for_select(Timing.all, "id", "result")
.form-group
= f.label :motivator
= f.select :motivator_id, options_from_collection_for_select(Motivator.all, "id", "result")
.actions
= f.submit 'Save', class: 'btn btn-success btn-sm'
Rendering the new call form in contact#edit view like this:
= render 'calls/form'
As a side question, I wasn't able to figure out the form_for path for this. So to tackle one problem at a time, I just have the very wordy path as a placeholder.
Here is the edit method in the Contacts Controller:
def edit
#contact = Contact.find(params[:id])
#user = #contact.user
#new_call = #contact.calls.build
authorize #contact
end
create method in the Call Controller:
def create
#contact = Contact.find(params[:contact_id])
#call = Call.new(call_params)
#call.contact_id = #contact.id
#call.user_id = current_user.id
if #call.save
flash[:notice] = "Your Call was successfully posted."
redirect_to edit_contact_path(#contact)
else
flash[:error] = "Your Call was not posted. Please try again."
redirect_to edit_contact_path(#contact)
end
end
routes.rb:
resources :contacts do
resources :properties
resources :calls
collection do
post :import
get :database
end
end
