Thank you! I think I got the intent :clap: Your example is more clear to me than the blog post.

Things that got me confused:

  1. Errors falling through with. Then why use with?
  2. The first condition in the with is page = CMS.get_page!(id), but if we don’t care about matching, why even put it in the with, it could well be outside, especially if it raises, which would make it even more clear. The with (to me) for get_page!/1 is a bit of indirection.
  3. The scope of page is then used in the redirect, how? (is that a mistype?)

In any case, your example of the changeset in the middle of the with is more understandable to me. I wouldn’t want to execute the create_changeset unless the :ok prior succeeded. Also, changeset is likely not fail, and I don’t want to use it for matching anyway (since it would be used in the else clause.
(I don’t think I’ve explained it well)

Thank you again.
