Multiple Select with belongsToMany relationship, saves but does not show selected after reload.
Hello,
I have two models Model: Product and Model: Secondary Traits.
Product model has a belongsToMany relationship with SecondaryTrait just like that:
Also the form element used is a Multiple Select:
(the 'search_as' column is what i want the user to see in the field, because of translations in other columns)
After i select the related secondarytraits and save, they are indeed stored in the DB,
but when I refresh the page, or visit the specific product's form again, there are no options populating the field.
Any ideas ?

Answer:
It just didn't like the
if i rename it to Whatever else, it's just fine.
There is some kind of conflict with the relationship name , when i use a name same with the relation's with underscore, that stops it from working.
