Repeater pivot

Hi, I'm having a problem with the repeater.
My problem: I've created a pivot table but I don't understand why it doesn't go into the pivot table but into the artist table, so it creates a new artist for me every time I add it, when my aim is for it to register only in my pivot table.

 Repeater::make('artists')
  ->required()
  ->relationship()
  ->label(__('lead-resource.repeater.field.artists'))
  ->schema([
      Forms\Components\Select::make('artists')
        ->searchable()
        ->getSearchResultsUsing(fn(string $search): array =>    
            Artist::where('name', 'like', "{$search}%")
              ->orWhere('first_name', 'like', "{$search}%")
              ->orWhere('zip_code', 'like', "{$search}%")
              ->select('id', 'name', 'first_name', 'zip_code')
              ->limit(50)
              ->get()
              ->mapWithKeys(fn($artist) => [$artist->id => "{$artist->first_name} {$artist->name} - {$artist->zip_code}"])
              ->toArray())
        ->getOptionLabelUsing(function ($value): ?string {
              $artist = Artist::find($value);
              return "{$artist->first_name} {$artist->name} - {$artist->zip_code}";
           })
           ->label(__('lead-resource.repeater.field.name'))
           ->columnSpan(2),
Solution
Did you create a hasMany relationship with the pivot class? Also, there are certain limitations with repeaters - you need a unique ID on the pivot table for them to work property.

Please ensure that your pivot model has a primary key column, like id, to allow Filament to keep track of which repeater items have been created, updated and deleted.
