Laravel 10: how to to Update Pivot Table with Additional Columns in Many-To-Many Relationship
After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... I've looked through the documentation and I'm still confused about I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm currently implementing a many-to-many relationship between `User` and `Project` models in Laravel 10, and I'm struggling to update a pivot table that contains additional columns. The pivot table, `project_user`, not only links the two, but also includes `role` and `assigned_at` timestamps. When I try to update the pivot data, I encounter the behavior: `SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'role' want to be null`. Here's the code I have so far: ```php // User.php public function projects() { return $this->belongsToMany(Project::class)->withPivot('role', 'assigned_at'); } // Project.php public function users() { return $this->belongsToMany(User::class)->withPivot('role', 'assigned_at'); } // Updating the pivot data $user = User::find(1); $user->projects()->updateExistingPivot(1, ['role' => null, 'assigned_at' => now()]); // This triggers the behavior ``` I've tried changing the `null` value for `role` to a string, but that doesn't resolve the scenario. Additionally, I verified that the `role` column in the migration is set to `nullable()`, so Iām confused why it's causing a constraint violation. I've also confirmed that the Project ID (1) exists and is correctly associated with the User ID (1). Can anyone shed light on how to properly update this pivot table while ensuring values are correctly set? What am I missing? This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. How would you solve this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! This issue appeared after updating to Php 3.10. How would you solve this? I'm on Debian using the latest version of Php. Any advice would be much appreciated.
