• we call the savePivotAudit directly to avoid errors of unknown model attributes

• using get_class($model->$relationName()->getRelated()) to avoid error of null value

• check if $pivotIds is avail b4 saving or we might get an error "edge case"

• removed all the extra attributes like user, tags, url, ip, etc.. as they can be fetched from the main audit record

I need to implement something in Laravel 5.6 with Laravel auditing 8.0 and current laravel-pivot, I have configured my application as you suggested, but not using the trait in base Model, I have video_status pivot where I want to implement this, so should I use it in Video and Status model or VideoStatus pivot? also, I would like to know, if I need to save the data manually to the audit_pivots table or it will save directly?

sorry for the late reply, github still doesnt notify users of gist activities :(

anyway am using the same solution in a package i made call odin and am simply including that trait in every model i want to have revisions of

so an answer to ur question i would probably suggest adding the trait to both ur Video and Status models
or if u have the laravel v5.8 then modify the above logic to work with the pivot events https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/releases

For anyone coming across this and wondering if it will work in combination with Nova. It doesn't.
