override relationship when there is more then one.

[apps4u]

HI Ive got a contract Entity that have two relationships the contract model is related to a advertiser as a advertiser can have many contracts , I also need to track which of our sales reps sold the contract so i have a sold_by column that is the id of the user who sold the contract so Its also a relationship now I created a factory which defines both.

$factory('Apps4u\Sharples\Models\Contract',
    [
        'contract_number' => $faker->numberBetween(10000, 99999),
        'sign_date' => $faker->date(),
        'total' => $faker->randomFloat(),
        'deposit' => $faker->randomFloat(),
        'payment_plan' => '50/50',
        'advertiser_id' => 'factory:Apps4u\Sharples\Models\Advertiser',
       'sold_by' => 'factory:Platform\Users\Models\User',

]);

Now when creating the data I override the advertser_id as I want it set the existing record as I have lots of relationships include lots of Polymorphic ones. but when I override the advertiser id but not the userid I get a error saying it can not insert advertiser_id into the users table (there is no link like that). so I can only override a value if I override both relationships.

I create a route to test my seed loading Ive use foreach loops so I can attach polymorphic relationships. As you can see Im override both sold_by (user id) and advertiser_id. But If I only override the advertiser_id I get a error saying that insert into user table failed table dose not have column advertiser_id . Which is correct so I dont know why its trying to do that.

Ive cleaned up the test seeder and use build for some of the polymorphic relationships . I was able to override the advertiser_id and not the user_id relationship and its looks like its working now . before I used to get 'factory:Platform\Users\Models\Users' set as the user_id for one of my polymorphic relationships which is not the case any more and I can override one relationship and not the other and it now works so thanks for the update and this can be closed
