Create new relations from the parent screen

[joshhornby]

Hi,

Just want to sanity check with the community, I'm looking to offer my users the ability to create relations inline from the parent screen.

In this example I have 2 models, Product and ProductVariants

On the Product model I have a relationship like so

    public function productVariants()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(ProductVariants::class);
    }

On my Orchid ProductScreen I want to allow users to create new ProductVariants whilst they're viewing / editing a certain product.

So my question is what's the correct way of doing this in Orchid?

I could use the Matrix table but this doesn't quite feel right as handling when a user removes a variant and then saving this back to the DB would be a little tricky.

The Relation field looks good, but doesn't offer an easy way to create a new relation.

Thanks

I have used the Relations field for something like that. Saving the relation is not difficult. Saving the product and then sync the relation data.

In my case I was assign tags from a different table.

$product->save();
$product->tags()->sync($tags);
