title: Stop all fillable items trying to save to database laravel
body: <p>I have a form with some items <code>firstname</code>, <code>surname</code>, <code>checkbox</code></p>
  
  <p>In my model I have </p>
  
  <p><code>$fillable = [firstname, surname, checkbox]</code></p>
  
  <p><code>$appends = [checkbox]</code></p>
  
  <p>In my database only contains <code>firstname</code> and <code>surname</code></p>
  
  <p>The purpose of the checkbox is to signal something post saving in an observer.</p>
  
  <p>I want to use mass assignment to set all these items.</p>
  
  <p>However when it comes to saving my model it tries to save <code>checkbox</code> in the database.</p>
  
  <p>How to get over this?</p>
  
  <p>I dont want to singularly assign it with <code>$model-&gt;checkbox = Input::get('checkbox')</code> as I will eventually have lots of different items. </p>
