zones is an array, you can't save it in Label.
$label = Label::create($request->except('zones'));

"ErrorException Array to string conversion" on CREATE form Validation (checkbox array)
I think this is issue is related with validation,
I have a STORE REQUEST on request folder to the validation with this rule
public function rules()
{
return [
'zones' => 'required|array|min:1'
];
}
I have one the controller for the CRUD, on the create method:
public function create()
{
return view('labels.create', ['countries' => Country::orderBy('name')->pluck('name', 'id')]);
}
I have a create view file with a form:
@foreach($countries as $id => $name)
<div>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="zones[]" value="{{ $id }}">
{{ $name }}
</label>
</div>
@endforeach
I got this error http://flareapp.io/share/W7zjpbl7
if I remove this rule 'zones' => 'required|array|min:1' everything works fine, the form save without problems, I need that checkboxes as required.
Any help? thank you

Yes it's an array, you loop over array to see what's checked, a no checked doesn't pass anything in HTTP.
You have to handle the ones not checked.

I forgot show my store method:
public function store(StoreLabelRequest $request)
{
$label = Label::create($request->validated());
foreach ($request->zones as $zone) {
$label->zones()->create([
'country_id' => $zone
]);
}
return redirect()->route('admin.labels.index');
}

and here's the graphical gui form:

It's irrelevant. zones is an array and you can't save it as a field.

So I need save it as an array, if yes, how I can save it as an array?
Also why works if I remove this rule:
'zones' => 'required|array|min:1'
?

$request->validated() return what you have in validation rules...
So when you have there
'zones' => 'required|array|min:1'
Then $request->validated() return
[
'zones' => [1,2 3, 4] // just an example
]
Which means zones is an array and I don't think that you have zones column in labels table...
You use zones for zones relationship.
I really don't know how labels table looks like.
And I already told you what you have to do...
$label = Label::create($request->except('zones'));

thank you! I got it now! and you are correct.
and yes, with the except works.
yes labels table don't have the zones column, I use another table called label-zones to the relationship. https://imgur.com/0iUDA7k
