Tags Field Clears on Form Error in New and Create Actions Using acts_as_taggable_on

[artero]

Describe the bug

When submitting a form for creating or updating a Resource, if the form encounters an error and re-renders, the tags field does not remember the previously entered tags and appears empty. This issue occurs with tags in a model using acts_as_taggable_on.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the 'new Resource' page for a resource with acts_as_taggable_on and the tag field configured.
2. Fill out the form including some tags in the 'tags' field.
3. Intentionally make a mistake in another field to cause the form submission to fail.
4. Submit the form.
5. Notice that upon form error, the 'tags' field is rendered empty instead of displaying the previously entered tags.

Expected behavior & Actual behavior

Expected behavior: After form submission errors, the 'tags' field should display the tags that were entered prior to submitting the form.

Actual behavior: The 'tags' field is empty after the form re-renders due to validation errors.

Models and resource files

#  resource file:
field :tags, as: :tags, acts_as_taggable_on: :tags,
             close_on_select: false,
             suggestions: -> { PodcastEpisode.tags_suggestions },
             enforce_suggestions: true,
             only_on: %i(new show edit)

# model file
class PodcastEpisode < ApplicationRecord
    acts_as_taggable_on :tags
    # Additional model configurations and methods...
end
