JSON Parsed Params (params[:renewals]): https://gist.github.com/t2/5566652

Notice in the JSON that the driver_1 information is missing on the last record. Not sure why this is. The data is in the request. Any known bug I am missing? Let me know if you need more info.

So I figured it out. I needed to set the requestSerializationMIMEType to RKMIMETypeJSON.

Unfortunately this is just how Rails parses JSON like this (where your [] is massively nested). I've come up against this before - http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html#combining-them gave some explanation.

From what I remember, if you can put in numeric keys rather than just [] (i.e. [1] for the first one, [2] for the second etc.) then it will work as you want it to.
