After submitting my form in the frontend of my extension a value for the trainer and job properties of my employee object are sent to my controller action. However only the trainer is handled correctly. When I debug the trainer and job in my controller action trainer is debugged as an object with properties i.e. an employee with firstname, lastname etc. while the job is debugged as NULL.
At the end of my controller action i update my employee object and redirect to the view where the form was submitted - passing the employee as an argument.
In this view i debug the employee with fluids f:debug - there the job is debugged as a string like ‘My\Extension\Domain\Model\TraineeJob:2’. - The trainer is still debugged as an object with properties.
Since both trainer and job are models in my extension I thought it would work the same way - though I might be missing something simple.
My typo3 version is 11.5.24.
You will find my code down below - but first screenshots of my debugs:
Debugging the employee object in the controller:
Debugging $this->request->getArguments()
Debugging the employee with my fluid template after the employee was updated in the controller:
Here is my code:
EmployeeController.php
public function updateTraineeSettingsAction(\Reports\TraineeReports\Domain\Model\Employee $employee)
{
debug($this->request->getArguments());
debug($employee);
die();
$this->employeeRepository->update($employee);
$this->redirect('reportManagement', null, null, ['employee' => $employee]);
}

I tried to log my form content with the javascript function serialize() and noticed that trainer and job had a difference - trainer has [_identity] and job doesn’t - I have not found out why that is missing or what causes this:
