+# Foreign Key String Value Bug - FIXED in v0.3.39
+
+## Problem Summary
+
+When assigning string values to foreign key fields defined via `belongsTo()`, MasterRecord silently excluded them from INSERT statements, causing NOT NULL constraint failures.
+
+## Example of the Bug
+
+```javascript
+// Entity with belongsTo relationship
+class UserOrganizationRole extends EntityModel {
+    User(db) {
+        db.belongsTo('User', 'user_id');  // Creates foreignKey 'user_id'
+    }
+
+    Organization(db) {
+        db.belongsTo('Organization', 'organization_id');
+    }
+}
+
+// User code
+const orgRole = new UserOrganizationRole();
+orgRole.user_id = currentUser.id;  // currentUser.id is STRING "2"
+orgRole.organization_id = newOrg.id;  // newOrg.id is NUMBER 8
+orgRole.role = 'org_admin';
+
+await userContext.saveChanges();
+// ❌ BEFORE: SqliteError: NOT NULL constraint failed: UserOrganizationRole.user_id
+// ✅ AFTER: Works perfectly!
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+1. `belongsTo('User', 'user_id')` creates an entity property named `User` with metadata `foreignKey: 'user_id'`
+2. The INSERT builder looked for `fields['User']` (navigation property name)
+3. But users set `fields['user_id']` (foreign key field name)
+4. Field not found → silently skipped → INSERT statement missing the field
+
+**Generated SQL (BEFORE):**
+```sql
+INSERT INTO [UserOrganizationRole] ([organization_id], [role])
+VALUES (8, 'org_admin')
+-- ❌ user_id is missing!
+```
+
+**Generated SQL (AFTER):**
+```sql
+INSERT INTO [UserOrganizationRole] ([user_id], [organization_id], [role])
+VALUES (2, 8, 'org_admin')
+-- ✅ user_id is included and auto-converted from "2" to 2
+```
+
+## The Fix
+
+Modified `_buildSQLInsertObjectParameterized()` in all three database engines to check BOTH the navigation property name AND the foreign key field name:
+
+```javascript
+// SQLLiteEngine.js, mySQLEngine.js, postgresEngine.js
+for (const column in modelEntity) {
+    if (column.indexOf("__") === -1) {
+        let fieldColumn = fields[column];  // Check navigation property (e.g., 'User')
+
+        // 🔥 NEW: Also check the foreignKey field name (e.g., 'user_id')
+        if ((fieldColumn === undefined || fieldColumn === null) &&
+            modelEntity[column].relationshipType === "belongsTo" &&
+            modelEntity[column].foreignKey) {
+            fieldColumn = fields[modelEntity[column].foreignKey];
+        }
+
+        if ((fieldColumn !== undefined && fieldColumn !== null) && typeof(fieldColumn) !== "object") {
+            // Existing validation and type coercion logic...
+            // This already handles string-to-integer conversion!
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Auto-Conversion
+
+The existing `_validateAndCoerceFieldType()` method already handled string-to-integer conversion:
+
+```javascript
+case "integer":
+    if (actualType === 'string') {
+        const parsed = parseInt(value, 10);
+        if (isNaN(parsed)) {
+            throw new Error(`Type mismatch for ${entityName}.${fieldName}: Expected integer, got string "${value}" which cannot be converted`);
+        }
+        console.warn(`⚠️  Field ${entityName}.${fieldName}: Auto-converting string "${value}" to integer ${parsed}`);
+        return parsed;
+    }
+```
+
+So once the field is found, the conversion happens automatically!
+
+## Why String IDs Happen in Real Apps
+
+### 1. authService Returns String IDs
+```javascript
+// authService.js line 167:
+res.id = String(obj.user.id);  // Explicit string conversion
+
+// Returns:
+{
+  id: "2",  // ← STRING
+  email: "customer1@bookbag.ai",
+  system_role: "system_user"
+}
+```
+
+### 2. HTTP Requests (JSON)
+```javascript
+// Client sends:
+{ "user_id": "2", "organization_id": "8" }
+
+// Express parses as strings
+req.body.user_id  // "2" (string)
+```
+
+### 3. JWT Tokens
+```javascript
+const token = jwt.decode(req.headers.authorization);
+token.userId  // "2" (string from JWT claim)
+```
+
+### 4. Database Returns Numbers
+```javascript
+const newOrg = new Organization();
+// ... set properties ...
+await organizationContext.saveChanges();
+
+newOrg.id  // 8 (NUMBER from auto-increment)
+```
+
+**Result:** Mixed types are common in real-world apps!
+
+## Both Patterns Now Work
+
+### Pattern 1: Navigation Property (OLD, still works)
+```javascript
+const user = await ctx.User.where(u => u.id == 2).first();
+orgRole.User = user;  // Set navigation property
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Foreign Key Field (NEW, now works!)
+```javascript
+orgRole.user_id = currentUser.id;  // "2" (string)
+// Auto-converted to 2 (integer) ✅
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Direct Integer (always worked)
+```javascript
+orgRole.user_id = 2;  // Already a number
+```
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+**8 comprehensive tests** verify:
+1. ✅ String foreign key value included in INSERT
+2. ✅ Number foreign key value still works
+3. ✅ Mixed string and number foreign keys
+4. ✅ String with leading zeros ("007" → 7)
+5. ✅ Invalid strings throw clear error
+6. ✅ Empty strings throw clear error
+7. ✅ Backward compatible (navigation property)
+8. ✅ Prefers navigation property if both set
+
+Run tests:
+```bash
+node test/foreign-key-string-value-test.js
+```
+
+## Affected Database Engines
+
+All three engines fixed:
+- ✅ SQLiteEngine (`SQLLiteEngine.js`)
+- ✅ MySQLEngine (`mySQLEngine.js`)
+- ✅ PostgresEngine (`postgresEngine.js`)
+
+## Upgrade Path
+
+```bash
+npm install -g masterrecord@0.3.39
+```
+
+**No code changes needed!** The fix is automatic.
+
+### If You Have Workarounds
+
+If you added `parseInt()` workarounds like this:
+```javascript
+orgRole.user_id = parseInt(currentUser.id, 10);
+```
+
+You can now remove them (but leaving them is harmless):
+```javascript
+orgRole.user_id = currentUser.id;  // Works directly now!
+```
+
+## Error Messages (Before vs After)
+
+### Before v0.3.39
+```
+SqliteError: NOT NULL constraint failed: UserOrganizationRole.user_id
+```
+**Confusing!** The field WAS set, but silently skipped.
+
+### After v0.3.39
+If you pass an invalid string:
+```
+INSERT failed: Type mismatch for UserOrganizationRole.User: Expected integer, got string "invalid" which cannot be converted to a number
+```
+**Clear!** Tells you exactly what's wrong.
+
+## Impact
+
+- ✅ **Auto-converts** string foreign keys to integers
+- ✅ **Clear errors** for invalid values (not silent failures)
+- ✅ **Backward compatible** - all existing code works
+- ✅ **Matches real-world usage** where IDs are often strings
+- ✅ **Works across all databases** (SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
+

+2. **mySQLEngine.js** - Lines 654-664
+3. **postgresEngine.js** - Lines 601-611

+5. **package.json** - Version 0.3.39
+6. **readme.md** - Changelog entry
+7. **MEMORY.md** - Implementation notes
+
+## Related Issues
+
+This bug was reported by Bookbag.ai Engineering Team and affects any application that:
+- Uses JWT tokens for authentication (IDs as strings)
+- Receives data from HTTP requests (JSON has string values)
+- Mixes data from different sources (auth service + database)
+- Uses authService pattern (converts IDs to strings for consistency)
+
+## Verification
+
+To verify the fix works with your code:
+
+```javascript
+const UserOrganizationRole = require('./models/userOrganizationRole');
+const userContext = require('./models/userContext');
+
+async function testFix() {
+    const ctx = new userContext();
+
+    const orgRole = new UserOrganizationRole();
+    orgRole.user_id = "2";  // ← STRING VALUE
+    orgRole.organization_id = 1;
+    orgRole.role = "org_admin";
+    orgRole.created_at = Date.now().toString();
+    orgRole.updated_at = Date.now().toString();
+
+    ctx.UserOrganizationRole.add(orgRole);
+
+    try {
+        await ctx.saveChanges();
+        console.log('✅ SUCCESS! String foreign key value was auto-converted.');
+        console.log('Inserted record:', orgRole);
+    } catch (err) {
+        console.error('❌ FAILED:', err.message);
+    }
+}
+
+testFix();
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+⚠️  Field UserOrganizationRole.User: Auto-converting string "2" to integer 2
+✅ SUCCESS! String foreign key value was auto-converted.
+Inserted record: { id: 1, user_id: 2, organization_id: 1, role: 'org_admin', ... }
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The bug is **completely fixed** in v0.3.39. String values assigned to foreign key fields are now:
+1. **Detected** (checked in both navigation property and foreign key field name)
+2. **Validated** (throws error for invalid strings)
+3. **Converted** (auto-converts to integer)
+4. **Included** in INSERT statements (no more silent failures)
+
+Upgrade to v0.3.39 and enjoy hassle-free foreign key handling! 🎉

 ## Changelog
 
+### Version 0.3.39 (2026-02-09) - CRITICAL BUG FIX: Foreign Key String Values
+
+#### Bug Fixed: Foreign Key Fields Silently Ignoring String Values
+- **FIXED**: Critical bug where string values assigned to foreign key fields were silently excluded from INSERT statements
+  - **Problem**: When you assign `orgRole.user_id = "2"` (string), MasterRecord excluded it from INSERT, causing NOT NULL constraint failures
+  - **Root Cause**: INSERT builder only checked navigation property name (`User`), not foreign key field name (`user_id`)
+  - **Impact**: Common in real-world apps where IDs come from JWT tokens, HTTP requests, or authService (returns string IDs)
+
+#### What Was Happening (Before v0.3.39)
+```javascript
+// User assigns string value to foreign key
+orgRole.user_id = "2";  // ← STRING (from currentUser.id)
+orgRole.organization_id = 8;  // ← NUMBER (from database)
+orgRole.role = 'org_admin';
+
+await userContext.saveChanges();
+// ❌ Generated SQL: INSERT INTO [UserOrganizationRole] ([role]) VALUES ('org_admin')
+// ❌ Error: NOT NULL constraint failed: UserOrganizationRole.user_id
+```
+
+**Why It Failed:**
+- `belongsTo('User', 'user_id')` creates property `User` with `foreignKey: 'user_id'`
+- INSERT builder looked for `fields['User']` (navigation property)
+- User set `fields['user_id']` (foreign key field name)
+- Field not found → silently skipped → INSERT failed
+
+#### The Fix (v0.3.39)
+Updated `_buildSQLInsertObjectParameterized` in all database engines:
+- Now checks BOTH navigation property name AND foreign key field name
+- Auto-converts string values to integers for integer foreign key fields
+- Maintains backward compatibility (setting navigation property still works)
+
+```javascript
+// After fix - both patterns work:
+orgRole.User = 2;        // ✅ Works (navigation property)
+orgRole.user_id = "2";   // ✅ Works (foreign key field, auto-converted to integer)
+```
+
+#### Files Modified
+1. **SQLLiteEngine.js** (lines 1127-1137) - Added foreign key field lookup
+2. **mySQLEngine.js** (lines 654-664) - Added foreign key field lookup
+3. **postgresEngine.js** (lines 601-611) - Added foreign key field lookup
+4. **test/foreign-key-string-value-test.js** (NEW) - 8 comprehensive tests
+5. **package.json** - Updated to v0.3.39
+6. **readme.md** - Added changelog
+
+#### Test Results
+- **8 new tests** - All passing ✅
+  1. String foreign key value included in INSERT ✅
+  2. Number foreign key value still works ✅
+  3. Mixed string and number foreign keys ✅
+  4. String with leading zeros (e.g., "007" → 7) ✅
+  5. Invalid strings throw error (not silent failure) ✅
+  6. Empty strings throw error ✅
+  7. Backward compatible (navigation property still works) ✅
+  8. Prefers navigation property if both set ✅
+
+#### Real-World Example: authService Returns String IDs
+```javascript
+// authService.js returns:
+const currentUser = {
+  id: "2",  // ← STRING (from String(obj.user.id))
+  email: "customer1@bookbag.ai",
+  system_role: "system_user"
+};
+
+// User creates association:
+const orgRole = new UserOrganizationRole();
+orgRole.user_id = currentUser.id;  // ← Before: silently skipped. After: auto-converted to 2
+orgRole.organization_id = newOrg.id;  // ← NUMBER from database
+orgRole.role = 'org_admin';
+
+await userContext.saveChanges();  // ✅ Now works!
+```
+
+#### Impact
+- ✅ **Auto-converts** string foreign keys to integers (with validation)
+- ✅ **Clear errors** for invalid strings (not silent failures)
+- ✅ **Backward compatible** - navigation property pattern still works
+- ✅ **Works across all databases** (SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
+- ✅ **Matches real-world usage** where IDs are often strings
+
+#### Upgrade Path
+```bash
+npm install -g masterrecord@0.3.39
+```
+No code changes needed - automatic fix! If you have workarounds like `parseInt(currentUser.id)`, you can now remove them (but leaving them is harmless).
