[5.3] Updating JSON returns data as "meta->area" instead of meta : {area : ...}

[lukepolo]

• Laravel Version: 5.3.21
• PHP Version: 7.0.12
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL / 5.7.13-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

Description:

When updating JSON

    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $program = Program::findOrFail($id)->fill([
            'meta->area' => 'new value'
        ]);

        $program->save();

        return response()->json($program);
    }

Returns

    {
        ....
        meta : {area : 'old value'},
        meta->area : "new area"
        ....
    }

It is correctly updating just not replacing the value correctly upon return.

Steps To Reproduce:

    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $program = Program::findOrFail($id)->fill([
            'meta->area' => 'new value'
        ]);

        $program->save();

        return response()->json($program);
    }

Look at the json value returning .

I'm pretty sure that meta->area is the wrong syntax. Are you meaning to use dot notation?

meta.area ?

Docs say otherwise
