Sigh. This used to be so easy in Cake 2.x and I'm sure it still us, I just don't understand the new world. Your patience is appreciated. |

Maybe this is easier (this is a test server and test database, dont sweat the lax security here) http://kleinlab.psychology.dal.ca/klein2/publications/add . Jump down to the "Select Authors" button, it's easier to visualize than let me ramble on |

What extra field? |

Jan 6th 2020, 20:31 |

Of course, but that only allows for associating the `value` property of each option... but then how does one add the extra field? |

On your form, the way you have it your options should be an array of existing authors |

Are you creating the author the same time as the Publication? |

Well, the Publications_Authors table has 4 fields; id, publication_id, author_id, ordinance. What I'm trying to understand is how to create those entities from a form. With just author_id—which is how cake builds the form out of the gate—I don't get to populate that additional field. |

why not just use author_id instead? |

I'm planning to just generate the form inputs for each selected Author dynamically, but I'm not sure what that should look like in order for Cake to properly create the record on the back end. I know it used to be something like giving a `name` attribute to the field akin to `[Publications][Authors][id]`. How should I create records where the |

Hey cake gurus. I've built a more involved UI for creating records for models with a hasMany association (here, Publication hasMany Authors). So where Cake bakes something like ` $this->Form->control( 'authors._ids', ['options' => $authors)`, I've built a javascript UI that's a little more graphical, and, importantly, also allows adding an |

Alternatively, I've also tried saving it as associated data: ```$asset->tags = $assettags; $this->Assets->save($asset);``` But the duplication still happens, like the saveStrategy isn't being applied at all. |
| # |
Jan 6th 2020, 17:33 |
ckjksl |
Then I link them: ```$assetsTable = TableRegistry::getTableLocator()->get('Assets'); $assetsTable->tags->link($asset, $assettags);``` According to the saveStrategy=>replace, I should be replacing its related tags completely. But what happens is that I click on that postlink three times, and I'll end up with those tag associations three times, to a total of 9. |
| # |
Jan 6th 2020, 17:31 |
ckjksl |
Then for each of that tags array, I retrieve the tag and put it in an array: ```$tagEntity = $this->tags->find()->where(['title'=>$tag])->first(); $assettags[] = $tagEntity;``` |
| # |
Jan 6th 2020, 17:28 |

array('id'=>"1", 'tags'=>['sleepy', 'smelly', 'happy']) ) );``` All that should do is update the tags for `asset` id 1 with 3 tags. |
| # |

I think the relations are okay, because they're associating and saving okay, and I can retrieve the results. The problem happens when I try to add more tags. in my `test.ctp`, I have the following POST link: ```echo $this->Form->postLink( 'Update Tags (asset_id 1, \'sleepy\', \'smelly\', \'happy\' )', array('controller' => 'Assets','action' => 'updateTags'), array( 'confirm' => 'Are you sure?', 'data' => |

so in the model, `AssetsTable` has: ```$this->belongsToMany('Tags', [ 'joinTable' => 'AssetTags', 'saveStrategy'=>'replace' ]);``` `TagsTable` has: ```$this->belongsToMany('Assets', [ 'joinTable' => 'AssetTags', 'saveStrategy'=>'replace' ]);``` `AssetTagsTable` has: ```$this->belongsTo('Assets', [ 'foreignKey' => 'asset_id', ]); $this->belongsTo('Tags', [ 'foreignKey' => 'tag_id', ]);``` |
