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

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi!

I just found out, that it works out if I use the uid of the country.

$country = $company->getCountry()->getUid();
$company->setCountry($country);
$this->companyRepository->update($company);

Why is this? Has it something todo with defining the relation 1:1? 
*confused*

By the way, should I use a n:1 relationship (because, yes, one country 
can have many companies, but it makes no difference on the company side, 
does it?) ?

Can someone give me a hint how this works?

best regards,
Christian
