Unable to set property on model

When creating a related message I've noticed the message column is not being set but remains set to null.

    $message = $lastSeason->messages()->make([
        'type' => \App\Message::SEASON,
        'message' => ['this should be converted to json on save'],
    ]);
    dd($message->toArray());

The above outputs:

array:3 [
  "type" => "season"
  "message" => null
  "season_id" => 1
]

Here's both the Season and Message models:

class Message extends Model
{
    const SEASON = 'season';

    protected $guarded = [
        'id',
    ];

    protected $casts = [
        'message' => 'array',
    ];

    public function season() : BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Season::class);
    }
}


class Season extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [
        'id',
    ];

    public function messages() : HasMany
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Message::class);
    }
}

This isn't a guarded attribute, so is there something else I'm overlooking on these models?

Not sure where you got make() from or why there is no exception thrown. In the Laravel API docs, there is no such method defined. I think you are looking for create() as described here.

$message = $lastSeason->messages()->create([
    'type' => \App\Message::SEASON,
    'message' => ['this should be converted to json on save'],
]);

Optionally, if make() method actually exists, you can try running ->save() method on top of it.

Try to save encoded data

$message = $lastSeason->messages()->make([
        'type' => \App\Message::SEASON,
        'message' => json_encode('this should be converted to json on save'),
]);

Dont forget enable $fillable = ['message','type'] on Message model

And your your database should have a JSON or TEXT field type that contains serialized JSON.

Regarding by documentation
