Unable to set custom field when using #create_activity method

[borisano]

It is possible to set custom fields using #tracked method, however, when I create an activity using #create_activity method, custom fields are just ignored

def track_activity(model, activity_name, params={})
    model.create_activity activity_name,
                owner: current_user,
                enterprise_id: current_user.enterprise.id,
                params: params
end

I have this method in Application controller and I have added enterprise_id field to database.

Something similar happened to me where it wouldn't save the activity when I sent a custom field. My fix was to use a different function I found as an answer to another issue.

In this example, my custom field is project_id which is a belongs_to association with the activity. So on creating a new project I added this line:

PublicActivity::Activity.create key: 'project.create', trackable: @project, owner: current_user, project: @project

Quite ugly but am working on a way to clean it syntax.

Btw, @project is here twice as the trackable and the project because it is for creating the project. In all other instances @project will be under the project column not trackable.

You are right that create_activity does not allow passing custom attributes, so it's a potential improvement to be made. @owenstrevor has the right idea about directly creating the model
