I can’t find a way to unset associated model on the fly. I remember there was an “unbind” method and a recursive property in cakephp 2.x. Is there an equivalent in cakephp 3 ? The problem is that nested models are always loaded and I think it could become a performance issue. Thanks.
Cake 3 does not include associated model by default. So if you do not add them by calling contain() you will not get them. That is why unbind was removed.
