Question

Im trying to select only specific attributes on the many-to-many relation users, just like in one-to-one. But using select() on belongsToMany

Answer 1

According to Taylor Otwell it is not currently possible: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/issues/2679

I have tried to use a lists('user.email') at the end of the query but I can't make it work.
