Form with optional repeater failing to save

Hello everyone, I have an optional repeater inside a form. If it's filled out, it will save correctly with no error. However, if the repeater is left blank it will error out with this error:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Name', table 'Detail'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Name', table 'Detail'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

Obviously it's trying to insert the repeater form into the Detail table. How do I stop that from happening when the repeater is blank and not filled out? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Here's my form:

<?php

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
 return $form
    ->schema([
       Section::make('')
          ->schema([
             TextInput::make('Name')
                ->required()
            ->minLength(2)
            ->maxLength(191),
         Toggle::make('IsActive')
            ->default(true)
        ->onColor('success')
        ->offColor('danger'),
      ]),
      Section::make('Details')
      ->schema([
             Repeater::make('Detail')
            ->schema([
           TextInput::make('Name'),
           Toggle::make('IsRequired')
              ->default(false)
              ->onColor('success')
              ->offColor('danger')
              ->label('require'),
        ])
        ->label('Detail')
        ->deleteAction(
           fn (Forms\Components\Actions\Action $action) => $action->requiresConfirmation(),
        )
        ->addActionLabel('Add Detail')
        ->relationship()
        ->reorderableWithButtons()
        ->orderColumn('Rank')
        ->cloneable()
     ]),
   ]);
}

<?php

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
 return $form
    ->schema([
       Section::make('')
          ->schema([
             TextInput::make('Name')
                ->required()
            ->minLength(2)
            ->maxLength(191),
         Toggle::make('IsActive')
            ->default(true)
        ->onColor('success')
        ->offColor('danger'),
      ]),
      Section::make('Details')
      ->schema([
             Repeater::make('Detail')
            ->schema([
           TextInput::make('Name'),
           Toggle::make('IsRequired')
              ->default(false)
              ->onColor('success')
              ->offColor('danger')
              ->label('require'),
        ])
        ->label('Detail')
        ->deleteAction(
           fn (Forms\Components\Actions\Action $action) => $action->requiresConfirmation(),
        )
        ->addActionLabel('Add Detail')
        ->relationship()
        ->reorderableWithButtons()
        ->orderColumn('Rank')
        ->cloneable()
     ]),
   ]);
}

If it’s optional then your database column needs to be nullable.
