No way to link_to method: :patch within a form

[creativetags]

My layout requires a button that links to an action with PATCH method inside another form. I can't see a way to do this anymore with Turbo. button_to inside an existing form generates a 2nd CSRF token which breaks on submit "Can't verify CSRF token authenticity". link_to tries GET instead.

I've tried:

button_to 'Verify', verify_path, method: :patch
link_to 'Verify', verify_path, method: :patch
link_to 'Verify', verify_path, data: { turbo_method: :patch }

I found a workaround here.

Add the button_to outside the form and off canvas (class visually-hidden with bootstrap)
= button_to 'delete', method: :delete, data: { turbo_confirm: 'are you sure?' }, id: 'delete-btn'

Then where you want the delete button to appear add a label tag that points to the button:
= label_tag 'delete-btn', 'Delete', class: 'btn btn-secondary'

It's surprising the label connects with and submits the button even though it's inside a different form.

You can't have nested forms. Turbo creates a form when you use a custom method: on a link/button.
