A Partial View passing a collection using the Html.BeginCollectionItem helper

Question

I made a small project to understand the answer from Stephen Muecke here: Submit same Partial View called multiple times data to controller?

Almost everything works. The javascript adds new fields from the Partial View, and I can tell they're bound to the model by the "temp" values inserted by the controller method for the partial view.

However, when I submit the new fields the AddRecord() method throws an exception showing that the model isn't getting passed in ("Object reference not set to an instance of an object").

Also, when I view the page source, the BeginCollectionItem helper is inserting a hidden tag as it should around the table in the main view that displays pre-existing records, but not around the new fields that the javascript adds.

What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty new at this so thanks for your patience!

My main view:

@model IEnumerable<DynamicForm.Models.CashRecipient>

@using (Html.BeginForm("AddDetail", "CashRecipients", FormMethod.Post))
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    <div id="CSQGroup">
    </div>
}

<div>
    <input type="button" value="Add Field" id="addField" onclick="addFieldss()" />
</div>

<script>
    function addFieldss()
    {   
        //alert("ajax call");
        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Content("~/CashRecipients/RecipientForm")',
            type: 'GET',
            success:function(result) {
                //alert("Success");
                var newDiv = document.createElement("div"); 
                var newContent = document.createTextNode("Hi there and greetings!"); 
                newDiv.appendChild(newContent);  
                newDiv.innerHTML = result;
                var currentDiv = document.getElementById("div1");  
                document.getElementById("CSQGroup").appendChild(newDiv);
            },
            error: function(result) {
                alert("Failure");
            }
        });
    }
</script>

My Partial View:

@model DynamicForm.Models.CashRecipient
@using HtmlHelpers.BeginCollectionItem

@using (Html.BeginCollectionItem("recipients"))
{
    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Id)
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.cashAmount)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.cashAmount)
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.recipientName)
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.recipientName)
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
            <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
        </div>
    </div>
}

My model:

public class CashRecipient
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string cashAmount { get; set; }
    public string recipientName { get; set; }  
}

In my controller:

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult AddDetail([Bind(Include = "Id,cashAmount,recpientName")] IEnumerable<CashRecipient> cashRecipient)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        foreach (CashRecipient p in cashRecipient) {
            db.CashRecipients.Add(p);
        }
        db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");

    }

    return View(cashRecipient);
}

public ActionResult RecipientForm()
{
    var data = new CashRecipient();
    data.cashAmount = "temp";
    data.recipientName = "temp";
    return PartialView(data);
}
