    dd($filters);
    $filters->each(function ($item) use ($request, $filter) {
        if (isset($item['name']) && isset($item['latin'])) {
            $data = [
                'category_id' => $request->category_id,
                'name' => $item['name'],
                'latin' => $item['latin'],
                'field' => $item['field'],
            ];
            $filter_item = Filter::query()->firstOrCreate(['id' => $item['id'] ?? null]);
            $filter_item->fill($data)->save();
        } else {
            return null;
        }
        if (isset($item['value'])) {
            foreach($item['value'] as $value) {
                $filter_item->values()->updateOrCreate(
                    ['id' => $value['id']],
                    ['value' => $value['value']]
                );
            }
        }
    });
    return redirect()->route('filters.index');
}

Your $value variable contains the value of blue. As you are iterating through the array and taking it's value to iterate through. So it's not an array. It's a string right now — Rajesh Paudel, Dec 03 '21 at 05:36

as per your screen short you don't have $value['id']

it will be like

if (isset($item['value'])) {
            foreach($item['value'] as $key => $value) {
                $filter_item->values()->updateOrCreate(
                    ['id' => $key],
                    ['value' => $value]
                );
            }
        }

as $item['value'] is normal array with only index
