The error
Error
Add [title] to fillable property to allow mass assignment on [App\Models\Post].
Why it happens
Model::create() and fill() only accept attributes listed in the model's $fillable array. This protects you from users setting fields like is_admin through a form.
How to fix it
- Add the field to
$fillablein the model. - Only list fields users may set; pass validated data, e.g.
Post::create($request->validated()).
class Post extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['title', 'slug', 'body'];
