Please read the #✅┊rules and avoid code screenshots As for the error - there is one of the fields that returns an array for whatever reason. I would suspect the selects for department, so try to debug them to see what they return

my bad sorry about that. how would I check? that I'm new to this , this is what's in the request body:

"updates": {
                "data.eid": "000000001",
                "data.contact_number": "+971500000000",
                "data.position": "Systems Administrator",
                "data.active": true,
                "data.employee_department.dept_id": "1",
                "data.employee_department.supervisor": true
            },
            "calls": [
                {
                    "path": null,
                    "method": "create",
                    "params": []

Oh, okay. This happens on update (missed that!) The reason this happens is that it attempts to set the employee_department as array. Imagine this code: $employee->departments()->attach(['dept_id' => 1, 'supervisor' => true]) To fix this, you need to look at https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/resources/relation-managers#creating-with-pivot-attributes and most likely change how the form is defined. Can't help there exactly as I didn't do much work with many to many and pivots 😦

Please ensure that any pivot attributes are listed in the withPivot() method of the relationship and inverse relationship.

So does that mean I have to list all pivot table columns using the withPivot() method? Also that part of the documentation is very uninformative 😥
