[TYPO3-mvc] Cannot add objects from Controller, but from Backend

[Frans van der Veen]

Hi freetime coder,

Have you tried to add:
       $this->mapRepository->update($map);
in your ReportController::createAction, after you do:
       $map->addReport($newReport);
Appears to me it's missing.

Regards,

Frans
