It fails where, exactly? And how, exactly? 'Fails' meaning the the records
aren't added and you aren't redirected to /inventory/ but rather get the
form submission page redisplayed? If so, does the redisplay include any
errors on any of the form fields? 'Fails' meaning an exception is thrown?
'Fails' meaning...? It would really help people help you if you were more
specific about what 'fails' means.
It also isn't entirely clear what you mean when you say if you run is_valid
on one form (which one? does it matter which one? or no, either one works
individually but just not both together?) 'the record' is added correctly --
the code you post appears to add 2 records, so presumably the code that
works is a bit more different than just truncating the return line from
all_valid to not call is_valid on the 2nd form? Exact details of the
difference between the code that works and the code that fails might help
people spot the significant difference. As it seems you have only posted
the non-working version, people have to imagine what the working version
looks like, which again makes it harder to try to help.
