Editing a Relationship

I have a form that contains a related record for which I want to submit data at the same time. For this I have set up:

Forms\Components\Section::make()
    ->relationship('foo')
    ->schema([...]);

Forms\Components\Section::make()
    ->relationship('foo')
    ->schema([...]);

I need to perform a mutation to add extra data when saving, but I can't find a way to do this on the relationship. Does anyone have any suggested on how I can achieve this?

It turns out there was a flaw in my thinking about the record relationship: Even though I was peforming a main record edit, the relationship didn't exist yet, and was therefore calling a different function to what I was expecting:

Forms\Components\Section::make()
    ->relationship('foo')
    ->schema([...])
    ->mutateRelationshipDataBeforeCreateUsing(
         function (array $data) : array {
            $data['subtype'] = 'main';
            return $data;
    });

Forms\Components\Section::make()
    ->relationship('foo')
    ->schema([...])
    ->mutateRelationshipDataBeforeCreateUsing(
         function (array $data) : array {
            $data['subtype'] = 'main';
            return $data;
    });

This is correct approach for a new relation, where I was incorrectly using mutateRelationshipDataBeforeSaveUsing which only works when the relation already exists.
