Update parent model when it is as nested Son

Question

I am creating a system where the user creates a proposal, in the proposal form he must insert the data of the client that is in a separate table.

This is working to create the proposal, but not to update, because as I am showing below, the error "Unknown attribute 'valor_oferta' for Customer" appears. Follows my code:

I have 2 models:

class Sale < ApplicationRecord
    belongs_to :customer, inverse_of: :sales

    accepts_nested_attributes_for :customer
end

class Customer < ApplicationRecord
    has_many :sales, inverse_of: :customer
end

Sale Controller:

class SalesController < ApplicationController
    before_action :authenticate_user!

    def new
        @sale = Sale.new
        @sale.build_customer
    end



    def create
        @sale = Sale.new(proposta_params)

        respond_to do |format|
          if @sale.save
            format.html { redirect_to dashboard_path, notice: 'Proposta criada com sucesso.' }
          else
            format.html { render :new }
            @sale.errors.each do |erro|
                puts erro
            end
          end
        end

    end


    def edit
        @sale = Sale.find(params[:id])
        @sale.customer
    end


    def update
        @sale = Sale.find(params[:id])

        respond_to do |format|
          if @sale.customer.update(proposta_params)

            format.html { redirect_to dashboard_path, notice: 'Proposta alterada com sucesso.' }

          else
            format.html { render :edit }
            @sale.errors.each do |erro|
                puts erro
            end
          end
        end

    end



    private
        def proposta_params
            params.require(:sale).permit(:valor_oferta, :grupo_promocao, :codigo_oferta, :modo_pagamento, :vencimento, :banco, :agencia, :conta, :isento, :valor, :data_envio_qualidade, :data_agendamento_qualidade, :janela_agendamento, :data_instalacao_qualidade,:tv_id, :phone_id, :internet_id, :equipamentos, :cep, :rua, :numero, :complemento, :bairro, :cidade, :uf, :ponto_de_referencia, :obs, customer_attributes: [:name, :cpf_pf, :nascimento_pf, :nome_mae_pf, :nome_mae_pf, :cnpj_pj, :fundacao_pj, :telefone1, :telefone2, :telefone3, :email, :juridica])
        end
end

PS: I’ve tried using only "@sale.update(proposta_params)", but this way it creates another Client instead of updating

The VALOR_OFERTA field is part of SALE and not part of Customer.

Would you please help me?

I found the solution

Instead of @sale.customer.update(proposta_params) I should use @sale.update(proposta_params) and also missing the Customer "id" in the proposta_params method customer_attributes
