When a user clicks on a featured_inspiration, the intention is to populate a new _form with data from that featured_inspiration. The data consists of :text and/or :image, allowing the user to save an existing Inspiration to their list of Inspirations.
The issue arises when :image fails to prepopulate while :text functions correctly.
controller
def new
existing_inspiration = Inspiration.find_by_id params[:inspiration_id]
if existing_inspiration
@inspiration = existing_inspiration.dup
@inspiration.image_file_name = existing_inspiration.dup.image_file_name
@inspiration.image_content_type = existing_inspiration.dup.image_content_type
@inspiration.image_file_size = existing_inspiration.dup.image_file_size
@inspiration.image_updated_at = existing_inspiration.dup.image_updated_at
else
@inspiration = current_user.inspirations.build
end
end
Console

Here's how I got duplicating text to work.
UPDATE

<% @inspirations.each do |inspiration| %>
<%= link_to inspiration_path(inspiration) do %>
<div class="box panel panel-default" style="width: 175px;">
<% if inspiration.image.present? %>
