ActiveAdmin duplicates nested forms and delete checkbox doesn't work

Question

The form works to add items to the Model but items are not deleting! Worse, any update duplicates all of the nested forms (1x2=2, then the next update makes 4 for each, etc.)

app/admin/project.rb

ActiveAdmin.register Project do

  permit_params  :title, :description, :git_url, :demo_url, :version, :lastpublished, :firstpublished,
   project_features_attributes: [:project_id, :description, :_destroy => true],
   project_mentions_attributes: [:project_id, :title, :url, :published, :_destroy => true]

  form do |f|
    f.semantic_errors *f.object.errors.keys
    f.inputs
    f.buttons
  end

  form do |f|
    f.inputs "Project Details" do
      f.inputs :title
      f.inputs :description
      f.inputs :git_url, :default => "http://github.com/"
      f.inputs :demo_url
      f.inputs :version
      f.inputs :firstpublished
      f.inputs :lastpublished      
      f.inputs do
        f.has_many :project_features,
         :allow_destroy => true,
         :heading => 'Features' do |cf|
              cf.input :description
        end
      end
      f.inputs do
        f.has_many :project_mentions,
         :allow_destroy => true,
         :heading => 'Mentions' do |cf|
              cf.input :title 
              cf.input :url
              cf.input :published
        end
      end

    end


    f.actions
  end
end

app/models/project.rb

class Project < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :project_features, :dependent => :destroy
    accepts_nested_attributes_for :project_features,
     :reject_if => lambda{ |a| a[:description.blank?] },
     :allow_destroy => true

    has_many :project_mentions, :dependent => :destroy
    accepts_nested_attributes_for :project_mentions,
     :reject_if => lambda{ |a| a[:title.blank?] },
     :allow_destroy => true

    has_many :blogs

end

app/models/project_feature.rb

class ProjectFeature < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :project

end

app/models/project_feature.rb

class ProjectMention < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :project

end

Try :_destroy instead of :_destroy => true in permit_params block.

Duplication: ~~Delete the content of your public folder. In development mode you don't have to precompile the assets.~~

Update: you have to permit the id of the related record:

project_features_attributes: [:id, :project_id, :description, :_destroy],
project_mentions_attributes: [:id, :project_id, :title, :url, :published, :_destroy]

changing _destroy didn't work. Also, I don't understand your comment about deleting the public/(404|422|500).html files - what does that to do with ActiveAdmin duplicating the values in my nested forms when performing an update?

Sorry, I thought, you precompiled your assets. In that case a new 'assets' forlder is created in public folder and the has_many form appears twice in development mode.

adding the :id fields to the _attributes did the trick, thank you!
