Why "promote" pivot columns when building a table for an Eloquent relationship...?
Please refer to this documentation: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/tables/adding-a-table-to-a-livewire-component#automatically-generating-table-columns
It says that "all pivot columns [can be used] as if they were normal columns on your table, as long as they are listed in the withPivot() method of the relationship and inverse relationship definition."
Why is this the case...? I have a BelongsToMany relationship that I would like to use in the way that the documentation describes, but my related model's attributes have the pivot columns mixed in with them.
This seems very odd and I worry about "clashing" fields.
Can someone please help me understand why this is designed to work this way...? 🤔
