The erb is different in my _form.html.erb file. Does id: :post_title need to change to id: :post_body?

I'm running Rails 5.1.4. There is an additional reference to an id. Please see the code below.

<div class="field">
    <%= form.label :title %>
    <%= form.text_field :title, id: :post_title %>
</div>

Hello, no, the label is for the title, so it will be recognized by the text field, I think that the "id" is a selector for CSS.you can name it as you want. as a string.
