I have a belongsto association between StatesxDays and three tables (Users (this with two foreign keys: user\_id and doctor\_id), Groups, Nets), this table has these fields: id, user\_id, group\_id, net\_id, main\_gate, doctor\_id, date, hour, status, created and modified, when I try to save various records to this table it gives me an error that date, hour and status ar required fields.  
This is the code for addUser action:

```auto
    public function addUser() {
        $this->loadModel('SourcingEvents');
		$statesxDay = $this->StatesxDays->newEmptyEntity();
        if ($this->request->is('post')) {
			$guardar = false;
			$statesxDay = $this->StatesxDays->newEntities($this->request->getData(), ['associated' => ['Users' => ['onlyIds' => true],
				'Nets' => ['onlyIds' => true], 'Groups' => ['onlyIds' => true], 'Doctor' => ['onlyIds' => true]]]);
			debug($statesxDay);
			foreach($statesxDay as $data){
				$guardar = $this->StatesxDays->save($data);
			}
			if($guardar){
				$this->Flash->success(__('Se modificaron los estados de los usuarios.'));
				return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
			}
            $this->Flash->error(__('No se pudieron modificar los estados de los usuarios'));
		}
		$users = $this->StatesxDays->Users->find('all')->leftJoinWith('Groups')->where(['GroupsUsers.net_id' => $this->controllerUser['net_id']])
			->contain(['Groups.GroupsUsers.Nets', 'Profiles']);
		$eventos = $this->SourcingEvents->find('list');
		$this->set(compact('statesxDay', 'users', 'eventos'));
	}

```

This is the code for addUser view:

Looks to me like the structure of your data doesn’t match what you’re trying to do with it. The data has a key called `statesxDays`, which is an array of data apparently for that model, but then you call `newEntities` on that model passing it the _top level data_, not just the data for `statesxDays`.

I need to save the association with Users (field user\_id), Groups (field group\_id), Nets (field net\_id) and Doctor (field doctor\_id, className Users), what I need is to create an array of form controls, I remember that to do that with cakephp 2.5 I had to add a dot (.) at the end of the control name, but with 4.4 it gives me an exception of empty field, how can I create an array of controls in a form with cakephp 4.4?

</div>

Whenever I’m not sure what the control names should look like, I load an entity with all the relevant associations included and `debug()` it to see the exact structure of the data, then I just match that. It does get more complicated with join data, I’m not sure there’s a universal best way to deal with that.

But the statesxDay should be an array of 7 elements, repeting all the fields with different doctor\_id

</div>

I think the problem is in the hidden controls, because is giving me the error The provided value is invalid, how can I create a hidden control for a date, time and integer value? Because the hidden control is of type string.

What line, specifically, is giving you the “provided value is invalid” error?

It shows me the invalid array in the debug($statesxDay), this is what it shows:

And also I need to ignore the validation for some controls that are in the form but don’t belong to the entity, these are the three controls created at the top of the form (estado, sourcing\_event\_id and seleccionar)

From the data you’ve shown, `group_id` is an array, not an integer. Does that help you figure out what’s wrong in the way you’re setting up your form?

Yes, I understand that, but I need it to be an array because I am saving various entities into the table, how do I have to create the controls in the form so that it can add various records in the StatesxDays table or is there another method besides newEntities that can get all the request data as an array?

This data structure looks closer. Can you share your current line(s) of code that creates the `$statesxDay` variable?

If you are doing

`$statesxDay = $this->StatesxDays->newEntities($this->request->getData());`

why do you also have a `statesxDays` key in your data? I think you would want to pass `$this->request->getData('statesxDays')`.

Thank you Zuluru, now is working fine, but I also need to pass the Users entity to $this-\>request-\>getData, because I am trying to modify one field from this table, how can I pass statesxDays and users entities to request data?

</div>

So maybe what you really really want is not to make a bunch of `statesxDay` entities, but to patch a user entity that will get a bunch of `statesxDay` entities? Along the lines of

`$user = $this->StatesxDays->Users->patchEntity($this->request->getData());`

with a few related changes elsewhere.

That’s exactly what I want to do, when I do what you say it only puts the users entity’s fields, not the statesxdays, but it saves the records in statesxDays table but the fields with null values, the only field that isn’t null is status.  
This is what it shows debug($doctors) after the $doctors = $this-\>StatesxDays-\>Doctor-\>newEntities($this-\>request-\>getData(‘statesxDays’)):

Not  
`$doctors = $this->StatesxDays->Doctor->newEntities($this->request->getData(‘statesxDays’)):`  
but  
`$doctor = $this->StatesxDays->Doctor->newEntity($this->request->getData()):`

And you might need to change your input field name from `statesxDays` to `statesx_days`.
