@notname you need write what you are doing a dd of. We are not psychic

@sinnbeck

dd

@notname ok good luck

@Sinnbeck

A user after login enters this page and can fill in the info in multiple dynamic forms.

In this form, a user can delete and save info and update, How to can do it?

@notname that's a very broad question. All I asked was what the dd was on

Quick question. Is that image of dd($item['real_person']); ?

@Sinnbeckm No

public function updateAndCreate (Request $request)
{
    $parties = collect($request->input('parties'));
    dd($parties);

@Sinnbeck

When I add

public function updateAndCreate (Request $request)
{
    $parties = collect($request->input('parties'));
    $parties->each(function ($item) use ($request) {
        dd($item['real_person']);

I see this

        $table->id();
        $table->foreignId('party_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
        $table->text('legal_person');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('reals', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->foreignId('party_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
        $table->text('real_person');
        $table->timestamps();
    });

@priyalaks ?

@priyalaks What's the solution?

@notname Try to convert the $item['real_person'] to a string . That might help.

Try if you are able to assign -> json_encode($item['real_person']);

@notname Who is your employer?

@notname Can you at least share the error page? I can see the share button there. And I assume there is something you arent sharing or saying? What you are showing and the error does not seem to match up. Are you perhaps calling the method in a loop and one or more items are wrong?

@Sinnbeck You are right. There is no error in my code.

When I add a real_person and write for example this

real_person

And then I click on the save button. It saved.

parties table

and

reals table

And when I return to the form page,

And when I haven't added anything yet, I press the save button, it becomes two

update

This should be updated, not added

demo

@Sinnbeck did you understand?

@notname I thought you figured it out, but apparently not
