Add certain nested attributes on create

I have a form with nested attributes. My nested attributes all work fine.

But, i want to have a selection of those attributes available for the user to check (true/false) to include in the creation of the form. The below code isn't working for me, unsure of what i'm missing.

Form

<%= form_with(model: staff, local: true) do |f| %>    
  <%= f.collection_select :user_id, User.order('last_name'), :id, :full_name %>
  <%= f.collection_select :department_id, Department.all, :id, :name %>

  <%= f.check_box :sale_checkbox, {}, true, false %><%= f.label "Sales" %><br />
  <%= f.check_box :management_checkbox, {}, true, false %><%= f.label "Management" %><br />
  <%= f.check_box :summary_checkbox, {}, true, false %><%= f.label "Summary" %>
<% end %>

So with the above code, sometimes sales isn't applicable, so a user would deselect it and therefore it wouldn't be included in the form creation.

Controller

def create
 @staff = Staff.new(staff_params)
  if params[:staff][:sale_checkbox] == true
    @staff.sales.build
  end
  if params[:staff][:management_checkbox] == true
    @staff.managements.build
  end
  if params[:staff][:summary_checkbox] == true
    @staff.summaries.build
  end
end

def staff_params
  params.require(:staff).permit(:sale_checkbox, :management_checkbox, :summary_checkbox)
end

Model

class Staff < ApplicationRecord
 attr_accessor :sale_checkbox
 attr_accessor :management_checkbox
 attr_accessor :summary_checkbox
end

When you look at the server log, you will see that the params appear under staff hash, so your code doesn't work. Moreover you should change true to "true" and build to create. The below code should work

def create
  @staff = Staff.new(staff_params)
  if params[:staff][:sale_checkbox] == "true"
    @staff.sales.create
  end
  if params[:staff][:management_checkbox] == "true"
    @staff.managements.create
  end
  if params[:staff][:summary_checkbox] == "true"
    @staff.summaries.create
  end
end
