Edit Fields Not working; not updating, and sending empty array to backend

[robstarkdev]

I am using Laravel version 9.41 and Nova 4. I can delete records, however it appears that on the frontend/JavaScript side of things my form fields are not having their contents captured and sent back to the server. My action_events table shows [ ] empty arrays as what is being sent.

I have spent a good four or five hours googling and checking that my Resources, field names etc. are all spelled correctly. I also see no error messages. Each time I get the green success message, "This has been updated!" or whatever.

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;

class Post extends Resource
{
/**
* The model the resource corresponds to.
*
* @var class-string<\App\Models\Post>
*/
public static $model = \App\Models\Post::class;

/**
 * The single value that should be used to represent the resource when being displayed.
 *
 * @var string
 */
public static $title = 'id';

/**
 * The columns that should be searched.
 *
 * @var array
 */
public static $search = [
    'id',
    'text'
];

/**
 * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
 *
 * @param  \Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest  $request
 * @return array
 */
public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
{
    return [
        ID::make('id', 'id')->sortable(),
        Text::make('text', 'text')->sortable()
    ];
}`

And here is my Model:

`class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;

public $id;
public $text;
public $created_at;
public $updated_at;


protected $fillable = [
    'id',
    'text',
    'created_at',
    'updated_at'
];

}
`

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    public $id;
    public $text;
    public $created_at;
    public $updated_at;

    protected $fillable = [
        'id',
        'text',
        'created_at',
        'updated_at'
    ];
}

There no reason to define the following property. It's not part of any Eloquent conversion and the root cause of your issue:

    public $id;
    public $text;
    public $created_at;
    public $updated_at;

Thank you that solved it!!! But will I be able to use my Post model in other contexts as I normally would? ie using eloquent models etc.?

[robstarkdev]

Also, could you be so kind as to point me in the right direction to understanding "not part of any Eloquent conversion"? I thought we normally need to define those properties on our models. At any rate, it works now! thanks again!!
