Thymeleaf Spring Boot: Binding form to object,some fields are empty? - spring-boot

Question

So I am binding a form to an object to send to a spring controller,the "chosenAdvertisementsIds" being set with a hidden tag of ${advertisement.id} ends up with blank strings,the correct quantity of strings but empty strings.The tag for advertisement.description prints correctly on the page so the content is in the model correctly.
public class EditScheduleForm {
private String[] chosenAdvertisementsIds;
private String[] chosenAdvertisementsTime;//parralel arrays
private String dates;
//getters setters
}
My html,
<form th:action="#{|/web/editSchedule/${schedule.id}|}"
th:object="${EditScheduleForm}" method="post">
<h1>Advertisement Items</h1>
<div th:each="advertisement : ${chosenAdvertisements}">
<p th:text="${advertisement.description}"></p>
<input type="hidden" th:value="${advertisement.id}" th:field="*{chosenAdvertisementsIds}"/>
<p>Type below what times you want this advertisement to play at(type it like this 10:15/11:15/14:15 )</p>
<input name="text" th:field="*{chosenAdvertisementsTime}" type="text"/>
My controller method
#RequestMapping(value="/web/editSchedule/{scheduleId}",method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String editScheduleFormPost(Model model,
#ModelAttribute EditScheduleForm editScheduleForm,
#PathVariable Long scheduleId,
RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes) {
Advertisement
#Entity
public class Advertisement {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "usergroup_id")
private UserGroup userGroup;
private String description;
#Basic
#Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
private java.util.Date dateAdded;
//getters setters
}
How I populate the model that the html page is on
#RequestMapping(value="/web/editschedule/{scheduleId}",method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String editOneSchedule(#PathVariable Long scheduleId,
Model model) {
// Get the schedult given by Id
Schedule schedule = scheduleService.findOne(scheduleId);
model.addAttribute("schedule",schedule);
ArrayList<Music> chosenMusics = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0;i<schedule.getMusicScheduleItems().size();i++){
chosenMusics.add(schedule.getMusicScheduleItems().get(i).getMusic());
}
model.addAttribute("chosenMusics",chosenMusics);
ArrayList<Advertisement> chosenAdvertisements = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i=0;i<schedule.getAdvertisementScheduleItems().size();i++){
chosenAdvertisements.add(schedule.getAdvertisementScheduleItems().get(i).getAdvertisement());
}
model.addAttribute("chosenAdvertisements",chosenAdvertisements);
model.addAttribute("EditScheduleForm", new EditScheduleForm());
return "editschedule";
}
