More than one chained withPivot returns NULL while acessing a column from pivot table

[antonioribeiro]

Not really important, but I'm not sure if it is supposed to work or not but this is not working:

$this->belongsToMany('Country')->withPivot('regional_name')->withPivot('enabled');

But this is working fine:

$this->belongsToMany('Country')->withPivot('regional_name', 'enabled');

When i do:

$model->pivot->regional_name;

Looking at the source it looks like the listed columns are overwritten with each call to withPivot. Can you provide a real world example of why you'd want to chain multiple calls to withPivot when you can easily just pass an array or comma separated list of columns.

Actually I don't need it, I just converted my L3 query to L4 and they were chained in L3, wich made me suppose that it should work chained in L4 too, but I don't really see a case when I would need it to be chained. :)

We'll see what @taylorotwell thinks about it. It's quite an easy thing to patch though. But yeah, generally you'd only have one call to it.

[taylorotwell]

Yeah, just stick with one call.
