   return $this->hasOne('App\FieldCategoriesValues');

How to add new value to category?

I tried:

In order to save the relationship the first model needs to be created before creating/saving the second model. You can check for existence of a mode with the $exists attribute.

Also, you pass a model to a relationship's save() method and an array to create().

For example for the parent model:

$object = new Object;
$object->exists; // false
$object->save();
$object->exists; // true

OR

$object = Object::create();
$object->exists; // true

Then you can save the related model as:

$category = new Category(["id" => 4]);
$object->category()->save($category);

OR

$category = $object->category()->create(["id" => 4]);
