title: Laravel 5 > touch pivot table (Many-to-Many)
body: <p>Why is the <strong>updated_at</strong> field in my <strong>pivot table</strong> not updating giving the following setup?</p>
  
  <p>Model</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Conversation extends Model {
  
      public function users()
      {
         return $this-&gt;belongsToMany('App\User')-&gt;withTimestamps();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Controller</p>
  
  <pre><code>$conversation = Conversation::find($id);
  $conversation-&gt;users()-&gt;touch();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The last line should - as far as I understand the whole thing - also update the pivots table updated_at field, shouldn´t it? </p>
  
  <p>But it isn´t. Right now I have to do it manualy via a DB query.</p>
