Why is my Tickets controller create action failing? - ruby-on-rails

Question

Good afternoon!
I can't seem to find what the problem is here on my Tickets and I thought maybe getting another eye on it would help :). Also it is greatly appreciated for using your time to help me out.
All pages for my Tickets work correctly except for the Create action. The redirection even works correctly by going to the tickets_path after I hit Create Ticket for the New. However, it keeps flashing to Unable to submit ticket. and does not create the record in the table.
There are no errors however, the console shows the Parameters of the form in the log below.

#authorize User
end
def show
#ticket = Ticket.find(params[:id])
#authorize #user

#ticket = Ticket.new
#ticket.ticket_status = TicketStatus.find_by_name("Open")

#ticket = Ticket.find(params[:id])

#ticket = Ticket.new(ticket_params)

Answer 1

You're missing the user_id attribute when making the POST request
And it's because of this line:
<td><%= f.label :user_id, "User Name" %></td>
you meant to write
<td><%= f.hidden_field :user_id, value: current_user.id %></td>
