在CakePHP 3中BelongsToMany关联，如何在二级领域保持关系并保存关联？

I need help to create a belongsToMany relation between 2 tables. I need this relation to be permanent and the "state of the relation" to be stored in an additional field in the relation table.

Here goes some background. I'm buildind a website for a restaurant.

This restaurant has a few cards (Brasserie, Gastronomique...):

cartes

id | name | description

Every card has many sections (Starters, Salad, Meat, Fish...). Every section may happen in multiple cards.

cartes_rubriques

id | name | description | comment

Cards and Sections have a belongsToMany relation thanks to a table

cartes_cartes_rubriques

id | carte_id | rubrique_id| order | description | comment | active (boolean)

I need this relation to be permanent. The relation may be temporarly removed as some sections may be seasonal but I need to keep the order, description and comment to be saved.

I've tried 'saveStrategy' => 'append' but this only adds new records to cartes_cartes_rubriques.

CartesTable.php

$this->belongsToMany('Rubriques', [
    'foreignKey' => 'carte_id',
    'targetForeignKey' => 'rubrique_id',
    'through' => 'cartes_rubriques'
]);

CartesRubriquesTable.php

$this->belongsToMany('Cartes', [
    'foreignKey' => 'rubrique_id',
    'targetForeignKey' => 'carte_id',
    'through' => 'cartes_rubriques'
]);

CartesCartesRubriquesTable.php

$this->belongsTo('Cartes', [
    'foreignKey' => 'carte_id',
    'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);

$this->belongsTo('CartesRubriques', [
    'foreignKey' => 'cartes_rubrique_id',
    'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);

My strategy would ideally be to save theses relations and toggle cartes_cartes_rubriques.active.

Does this seem to be a good / possible strategy?

How can I make the toggeling on cartes_cartes_rubriques.active?

Do you have a better option?

Thanks for your help. Antonio
