[TYPO3-mvc] f:form.select is not saved

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi!

Thanks for answering, Franz!
Yes, an 1:1 relationship works well. Still the problem described is 
there. The reference to the country is not saved, unless I set the uid 
like this:

$countryUid = $company->getCountry()->getUid();
$company->setCountry($countryUid);

$this->companyRepository->update($company);

Do you know why?

best regards,
Christian
