# Aug 27th 2019, 16:12 ricksaccous if you don't want to that's fine but i'm just curious
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:12 ricksaccous can you post your request data out of curiosity and the result after patchEntity?
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:11 neon1024 It feels like there is something tiny I’ve missed
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:11 ricksaccous so you wouldn't want the id there
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:11 ricksaccous yeah, that's true
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:11 ricksaccous oh
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 ricksaccous so it's not properly hydrating the entity even with that?
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 neon1024 Well as it’s a belongsToMany it’s `replace` strategy
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 neon1024 I tried that already and it didn’t change anything
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 ricksaccous otherwise it doesn't knwo how to smash the data together
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 ricksaccous yeah, it should prob have the id before patchEntity is hit
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 ricksaccous oh really
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 neon1024 @ricksaccous No no, the resulting associated entity property is not updated
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:10 ricksaccous i've had to do it before though
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous lol
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous you could always just set it dirty afterwards, but that's kind of a dirty solution
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous it's just not dirty
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous in patchEntity, actually you already said it's getting patched
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 neon1024 @ricksaccous Plus, the book states this exact scenario works
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous are you putting _joinData in associated
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:09 ricksaccous oh ok
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:08 neon1024 Because I have already built the entire front-end
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:07 ricksaccous @neon1024 why not just save directly on the middle table, as a has many
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:07 alexdd55976 i expected to see false and null in the array... thats it
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:07 admad @alexdd55976 so?
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:06 ricksaccous my bad
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:06 ricksaccous _ids
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:06 ricksaccous you want join data so you can't save with ids
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:06 ricksaccous oh
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:06 ricksaccous i think normally you'd save with _ids so you aren't doing things conventionally
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:04 neon1024 `public '[dirty]' => array (size=0)` :,(
# Aug 27th 2019, 16:02 neon1024 Ah my join data has no id’s perhaps thats it
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:58 neon1024 Just like here https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#saving-additional-data-to-the-join-table
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:58 neon1024 So the request should be in `questions[0][_joinData][sortorder]`
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:58 neon1024 it shoud be `$form->questions->_joinData` contains a FormsQuestion entity right?
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:56 neon1024 I’m not sure how to force patch entity to deal with it, as I’ve already setup my `associated` option
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:56 neon1024 But the property is accessible and is not marked dirty
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:56 neon1024 `public '_joinData' => object(App\Model\Entity\FormsQuestion)[316]`
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:55 neon1024 it’s correctly marshalling
# Aug 27th 2019, 15:55 neon1024 I have `Forms belongsToMany Questions` `through 'FormsQuestions`
