How do i view data being sent from filament

I have been struggling with this problem for a while, and I really think it comes down to the variable being saved. Perhaps I am not referencing it the right way?

I am generating a form from the tags table where the parent is the form question, and the children are the options.

This data saves to a polymorphic relationship in the taggables table. I only need to record the chosen answers. I do not need parent_id to be stored. This is based on a hobbyRatings() funciton call.

I can get the questions to display, but i can't get them to save. I have tried doing dd() on various parts of the following function including dd($data) but nothing ever displays. I just can't figure out how to get the id's and save them. And i dont know how to troubleshoot if i need to reference a different variable because dd isnt working.

Would i be better off making this a separate livewire component?

protected static function saveRelationships($record, $data): void
    {

        if (isset($data['hobbyRatings'])) {
            $tagIds = [];
            foreach ($data['hobbyRatings'] as $childId) {
                if ($childId) {
                    $tagIds[] = $childId;
                }
            }


            $record->hobbyRatings()->sync($tagIds);
            $record->save();
        }

        parent::saveRelationships($record, $data);
    }



Section::make('Ratings')
                       ->schema(function (Hobby $record) {
                           $components   = [];
                           $allRatings   = Tag::type(13)->get();
                           $modelRatings = $record->hobbyRatings;

                           foreach (
                               $allRatings->where('parent_id', null) as $rating
                           ) {
                               $component = Select::make('hobbyRatings.'
                                                         .$rating->id)
                                                  ->label($rating->tag)
                                                  ->options($allRatings->where('parent_id',
                                                      $rating->id)->pluck('tag',
                                                      'id'));

                               if ($modelRatings->contains('id', $rating->id)) {
                                   $component->default($modelRatings->where('parent_id',
                                       $rating->id)->first()->id);
                               }

                               $components[] = $component;
                           }

                           return $components;
                       })

 public function hobbyRatings(): MorphToMany
    {
        return $this->morphToMany(Tag::class, 'taggable')->where('tag_type', 13)
                    ->withTimestamps();
    }

It seems like you're trying to save the selected options from a form into a polymorphic relationship using Filament. From your code, it looks like you're on the right track, but there might be an issue with how you're handling the data in your saveRelationships method.

Firstly, ensure that your form is submitting the data correctly. You can use browser developer tools to inspect the network request and see the payload being sent to the server when the form is submitted.

If the data is being sent correctly, then the issue might be in your saveRelationships method. Here's a revised version of your method with some added debugging statements:

protected static function saveRelationships($record, $data): void
{
    \Log::info('Saving relationships', $data); // Log the incoming data

    if (isset($data['hobbyRatings'])) {
        $tagIds = [];
        foreach ($data['hobbyRatings'] as $childId) {
            if ($childId) {
                $tagIds[] = $childId;
            }
        }

        // Log the IDs you're about to sync
        \Log::info('Syncing tag IDs', $tagIds);

        // Sync the tags with the record
        $record->hobbyRatings()->sync($tagIds);
        $record->save();
    }

    parent::saveRelationships($record, $data);
}

By adding \Log::info() statements, you can check your laravel.log file to see if the data is reaching the method and what data is being processed. This is an alternative to using dd() which can sometimes be suppressed by the framework's response handling.

Regarding your form schema, make sure that the name of your Select components corresponds to the structure of the $data array that your saveRelationships method is expecting. It looks like you're using dot notation (hobbyRatings.) which suggests that hobbyRatings should be an array of IDs.

Lastly, if you're still having trouble, you might consider simplifying your form handling by using a Livewire component. This would give you more control over the request lifecycle and make it easier to debug the data flow.

Remember to check your logs and ensure that your form is submitting the expected data structure. If you're not seeing any logs, make sure that logging is properly configured in your Laravel application.
