Answer 1

The column job_description in the database is set up as NOT NULL constraints. And the value trying to set using $request->job_description with NULL. That is the root cause of this issue.

To rectify you can modify your controller like:

Job::insert([
        'job_title'=>$request->job_title,
        'job_description'=>(!is_null($request->job_description) ? $request->job_description : ""),
        'file'=>$request->file,
        'note'=>$request->note
      ]);

Or provide a default value for fields using input()

Job::insert([
    'job_title' => $request->job_title,
    'job_description' => $request->input('job_description', ''),
    'file' => $request->file,
    'note' => $request->note
]);
