Boolean value not updating on Heroku, but works locally - ruby-on-rails

Question

My application consists of Items. They have a status attribute that's a boolean. I added it to items by doing rails g migration AddStatusToItems status:boolean. To show the status of an item as either complete or pending, in the view, I just do
<% if status? %>
Complete
<% else %>
Pending
<% end %>
Oh yeah, I also added :status to the params hash in the controller.
It works as it should locally, but on Heroku the status just goes back to pending. Here's the log on Heroku. How can I get this working?
class ItemsController < ApplicationController
before_action :set_item, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
before_action :authenticate_user!, except: [:index, :show, :upvote]

def index
#items = Item.all.order('created_at DESC')
end
# GET /items/1
# GET /items/1.json

end
# GET /items/new
def new
#item = Item.new
end
# GET /items/1/edit
def edit
end
# POST /items
# POST /items.json

#item = current_user.items.new(item_params)
respond_to do |format|

format.html { redirect_to root_path, notice: 'Item was successfully created.' }
format.json { render action: 'show', status: :created, location: #item }
else
format.html { render action: 'new' }
format.json { render json: #item.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

respond_to do |format|

end
end
end
# DELETE /items/1

def destroy
#item.destroy
respond_to do |format|

format.json { head :no_content }
end
end

# Use callbacks to share common setup or constraints between actions.
def set_item
#item = Item.find(params[:id])
end
# Never trust parameters from the scary internet, only allow the white list through.
def item_params
params.require(:item).permit(:name, :quantity, :boughtfor, :soldfor, :user_id, :status)
end
end
