@glendog good catches!

I'll update the first mentioned right away!

For the second I think I made an assumption which I shouldn't have. An ID could potentially be a string (i.e. uuid) so I'm going to change the if statement to check for its existence.

Removed foreignKey in favour of using the existing relationship

$createdIds[] = $this->owner->{$this->relation}()->create($other)->id;
