I need to allow admin to be able to update data in SupplierSchemaItemsSuppliersTable. However when I try to do so using below

$SuppliersTable->patchEntity($supplier, $this->request->data(), [
‘associated’ => [

‘SupplierSchemas.SupplierSchemaItems.Suppliers’,
]
]);
It works for rows where both supplier_schema_item_id and supplier_id is different. However for the select ( Identification Documents ) which can have more than one item it fails i.e. will only update the first record and delete the second one.

Below is the Data Dump for the request data:

‘supplier_schema_items’ =>
