Hi I have 2 table, a Ticket table and a comments table.  
In ticketsTable.php

```auto
 $this->hasMany('Comments', [
            'foreignKey' => 'ticket_id'
        ]);

```

and in commentsTable.php

```auto
$this->belongsTo('Tickets', [
            'foreignKey' => 'comment_id',
        ]);
    }

```

When I read the data, all is fine, e.g in edit function.  
I can run with foreach over all comments and show them.  
$ticket = $this-\>Tickets-\>get($id, contain: [‘Comments’]);

```auto
foreach($comments as $entity)
 {
      echo h($entity->created->nice());
       echo $this->Text->autoParagraph(h($entity->comment));

 }

```

But how to add a new Comment in a form and save it?
