Rails Activeadmin : Check boxes values are not saved

Model

 # certification.rb

class Certification < ActiveRecord::Base

 extend Enumerize
 enumerize :certification_type, in: [:SEO, :CRM]

end

My admin file

 # admin/certification.rb

ActiveAdmin.register Certification do
   permit_params :name,
                 :certification_type,

  form :html => { :enctype => "multipart/form-data" } do |f|
       f.inputs "Certifications" do
         f.input :name, :label => 'Nom'
         f.input :certification_type, :label => 'Type',
                                    as: :check_boxes
      end
     f.actions
  end
end

The problem is with the certification_type field. When I tick one type in my activeadmin page, the entry isn't saved in the database. But when I change as: :check_boxes with a as: :select, it works.

Do you know if there is a reason ?

Thank you

You cannot use checkboxes here, as checkboxes allow to select multiple values for one field, but you didn't specify multiple: true on the enumerize (because you don't need this, I guess). So you should use radio buttons, as they allow to select only one of many values (similar to select).

Try to change as: :check_boxes to as: :radio:

 f.input :certification_type, :label => 'Type', as: :radio
