Saving Data To The Join Table
-----------------------------

Saving data to the join table is done by using the special ``_joinData``
property. This property should be an ``Entity`` instance from the join Table
class::

// Link records for the first time.
$tag1 = $articlesTable->Tags->findByName('cakephp')->first();
$tag1->_joinData = $articlesTable->ArticlesTags->newEntity();
$tag1->_joinData->tagComment = 'The CakePHP ORM is so powerful!';

$articlesTable->Tags->link($article, [$tag1]);

// Update an existing association.
$article = $articlesTable->get(1, ['contain' => ['Tags']]);
$article->tags[0]->_joinData->tagComment = 'Fresh comment.'

// Necessary because we are changing a property directly
$article->dirty('tags', true);

$articlesTable->save($article, ['associated' => ['Tags']]);

You can also create/update join table information when using ``newEntity()`` or
``patchEntity()``. Your POST data should look like::

$data = [
'title' => 'My great blog post',
'body' => 'Some content that goes on for a bit.',
'tags' => [
[
'id' => 10,
'_joinData' => [
'tagComment' => 'Great article!',
]
],
]
];
$articlesTable->newEntity($data, ['associated' => ['Tags']]);
