CakePHP belongsTo relationship not saving

I have models 'PatientCase' and 'Procedure'. A case can have one/multiple procedures.

class PatientCase extends AppModel {
    public $hasMany = 'Procedure';
}

class Procedure extends AppModel {
    public $belongsTo = array(
            'PatientCase'       => array(
                'className'     => 'PatientCase'
            )
        );
}

I'm explicitly setting a value in my patientCasesController 

$this->request->data["Procedure"]["side"] = 'left';

When i saveAll my patientCase, the case is saved correctly, and a new record is saved in the procedure table, with the corresponding patientCase id, however, no other data is saved in the record.

Can anyone see where i'm going wrong?

Your comment nailed it - save() only saves the main model, while saveAll() saves the main model and any associated models.

save() [details]

saveAll() [details]

Update:

Because it's "hasMany", you probably want:

$this->request->data["Procedure"][0]["side"] = 'left';

(notice the [0])
