How do form fields with relationships work?

I'm using the spatie roles and permissions on my Filament panel, and would like to write some tests to assert that permissions change appropriately in my

EditRole

EditRole

form. The result I'm seeing is that in my tests if I populate the

permissions

permissions

form field with permission IDs, no changes are being saved specifically in the test. So I thought I'd dive in to see how the relation fields work.

I have the following:

Select::make('permissions')
    ->relationship('permissions', 'displayName')
    ->multiple()
    ->preload()
    ->hiddenOn('view'),

Select::make('permissions')
    ->relationship('permissions', 'displayName')
    ->multiple()
    ->preload()
    ->hiddenOn('view'),

But I can't figure out where Filament actually processes this for saving -

handleRecordUpdate

handleRecordUpdate

and

mutateFormDataBeforeSave

mutateFormDataBeforeSave

don't have any

permissions

permissions

key, but the permissions update just fine.

Solution

It's the

saveRelationshipUsing()

saveRelationshipUsing()

code. That's defined from the

->relationship()

->relationship()

method.

file line 953 to 980
