Form dropdown options not saving in DB

I'm working with a form that belongs to the signup and account update pages with Devise. I've added 2 fields to the user model, Role and Gender.

I've setup my role field as:

<%= f.select :role, options_for_select([['Student - High School'], ['Student - Undergraduate'], ['Student - Nursing'], ['Student - Graduate'], ['Student - Medical'], ['Health Care - Resident'], ['Health Care - Nurse'], ['Health Care - Physician'], ['Health Care - Staff'], ['Other']]), class: 'form-control'  %>

and gender as:

<%= f.select :gender, options_for_select([['Male'], ['Female'], ['Other']]), class: 'form-control' %>

And in my application controller, I've asked Devise to permit:

def configure_permitted_parameters
 devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [ :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :age, :name, role: [], gender:[]])
 devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [ :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :age, :name, role: [], gender: []])
end

Can you help me find the mistake I'm making? Thank You!

Try this in the views:

options_for_select(['Student - High School', 'Student - Undergraduate', 'Student - Nursing', 'Student - Graduate', 'Student - Medical', 'Health Care - Resident', 'Health Care - Nurse', 'Health Care - Physician', 'Health Care - Staff', 'Other'], selected: 'Student - High School')

options_for_select(['Male', 'Female', 'Other'], selected: 'Male')

And this in the controller:

devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [ :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :age, :name, :role, :gender ])

devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [ :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :age, :name, :role, :gender ])

You should put your devise controllers into your app.

rails generate devise:controllers [scope]

Then put that permitted params method in the registrations controller

class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController

  before_action : configure_permitted_parameters
  private
  #Your methods here
end

routes: devise_for :users, :controllers => {:registrations => "registrations"}
