Model subclass using SingleTableInheritanceTrait returns model indicated by parent's $singleTableSubclasses? about single-table-inheritance

My guess is that you haven't set $singleTableType correctly in all the subclasses. It needs to be unique for every subclass. For example If UserRole1 and API\UserRole1 shared the same value then its likely that you get the behavior you describe. A little hard to tell without more of the details.

@bostanio : Yep, I do have the same $singleTableType in (for example) UserRole1 and API\UserRole1 - I was doing that entirely on purpose. Basically, for each UserRole<n> there's an API\UserRole<n> which adds some extra bits used when rendering the data in those models to JSON for return as part of this API I'm building. But for all intents and purposes they're the same class, and should refer to the same model.

What I was hoping for was if I attempt to invoke MyNamespace\API\Models\User::find(...), then I should get a subclass in the MyNamespace\API\Models\ namespace, and similarly if I invoke MyNamespace\Models\User::find(...) that it should return a subclass in the MyNamespace\Models namespace. What you're saying suggests that's not feasible, at least the way I'm doing things now, is that right?

For clarity, I have exactly six subclasses as shown in the example. For each of these subclasses, MyNamespace\Models\UserRole<n> is subclassed as MyNamespace\API\Models\UserRole<n>, adding some methods and such but is otherwise the same model...

Giving up on the idea of subclassing the models, thanks for the help!
