How to implement guide with updating specific columns using laravel's eloquent when using postgresql
I'm following best practices but I'm currently working with an scenario when trying to update specific columns of a record using Laravel's Eloquent ORM with PostgreSQL. The update seems to work partially, but I'm getting unexpected results. For example, I have a model called `User` with fields `name`, `email`, and `status`. When I try to update the `email` and `status` fields for a given user, the `name` field is also being reset to NULL unintentionally. Here's what my code looks like: ```php $user = User::find($userId); $user->email = 'newemail@example.com'; $user->status = 'active'; $user->save(); ``` I've ensured that the `name` field is set in the database and should not be modified by this update. The database schema is up to date, and I'm using Laravel 8 with PostgreSQL 13. I also checked for any mutators or default values in the `User` model that might be affecting this behavior. When I run this code, I receive no behavior messages, and the `email` and `status` fields are updated correctly, but the `name` field ends up as NULL in the database. I've tried explicitly setting the `name` field again before saving: ```php $user->name = $user->name; // Attempt to prevent NULL ``` However, this does not resolve the scenario. I've also looked into whether there are any global scopes affecting the model, but none seem to be applicable. Does anyone have insights into why the `name` field might be resetting during the update? Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is for a service running on Debian. Any ideas what could be causing this?
