Added new column to a table but updateOrCreate method won't update - Laravel

Question

I just added a new column with php artisan make:migration , and after that I called updateOrCreate method hoping to filling the new column with values on all the existing records.

But nothing happened. I tracked down and found that the parameter for the new column was passed right to updateOrCreate method. But why was it not working? Thanks.

Just to close the question off and give it an answer, as Jeemusu pointed out, you needed to add the new column to your $fillable array inside the table model - thus allowing it to be inserted in to your database.
