Añadir elementos a una propiedad de la colección

Hi, is there a way to disable removing in that case, without throwing any exception/validation ? kind of patching my array collection with new data, but i dont want old data be deleted, if I don't provide them inside my PUT payload ?

Hi,

I have a question about adding items to a collection property in many-to-many relations with extra property in bridge table.
Example is sports players and teams. A player can be in multiple teams and teams can have multiple players. Also team can have player(s) as captains.

Here is the table schema:
`
Players
--
id
name
teams

Teams
--
id
name
players

PlayersTeams
--
player
team
is_captain
`

And here is the shortened Entities:
`
// App/Entity/Players.php

/**

• @var \Teams
• @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="PlayersTeams", mappedBy="player", fetch="EAGER")
• @Groups({"players:read", "players:write"})
• @Assert\Valid()
  */
  private $teams

/**

• @return Collection|Teams[]
  */
  public function getTeams(): Collection {
  return $this->teams;
  }

public function addTeam(Teams $team): self {

if (!$this->teams->contains($team)) {
    $this->teams[] = $team;
    $playerTeam = new PlayersTeams();
    $playerTeam->setPlayer($this);
}

return $this;

}

public function removeTeam(Teams $team): self {

if ($this->teams->contains($team)) {
    $this->teams->removeElement($team);
    if ($team->getPlayer() === $this) {
        $team->setPlayer(null);
    }
}

return $this;

}

// App/Entity/PlayersTeams.php

/**

• @ORM\Id()
• @ORM\GeneratedValue()
• @ORM\Column(type="integer")
  */
  private $id;

/**

• @var \Teams
• @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Teams", inversedBy="players")
• @ORM\JoinColumn(name="team_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false)
• @Groups({"players:read", "players:write", "teams:read", "teams:write"})
  */
  private $team;

/**

• @var \Players
• @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Players", inversedBy="teams")
• @ORM\JoinColumn(name="player_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false)
• @Groups({"players:read", "players:write", "teams:read", "teams:write"})
  */
  private $player;

/**

• @var bool
• @ORM\Column(type="boolean")
• @Groups({"players:read", "players:write", "teams:read", "teams:write"})
  */
  private $isCaptain = false;

public function getId(): ?int {
return $this->id;
}

public function getTeam(): Teams {
return $this->team;
}

public function setTeam(Teams $team): self {
$this->team = $team;
return $this;
}

public function getPlayer(): Players {
return $this->player;
}

public function setPlayer(Players $player): self {
$this->player = $player;
return $this;
}

public function getIsCaptain(): bool {
return $this->isCaptain;
}

public function setIsCaptain(bool $isCaptain): self {
$this->isCaptain = $isCaptain;
return $this;
}
`

When I call /player/1 PUT API, I get the following response: "Expected value of type \"App\Entity\PlayersTeams\" for association field \"App\Entity\Players#$teams\", got \"App\Entity\Teams\" instead."

How can I add items to the embedded objects in this entity relations?

Thank you for your tips!
