Doctrine entity always saves null on persist even when set - php

Question

I'm trying to persist some data to the database but even though I'm setting a field it sets it to null when the actual SQL runs. The field is set to not null in the database which throws an error.
My code:
$db_order = new Orders;
$db_order->setDateCreated(new \DateTime());
$db_order->setLastUpdated(null);
$db_order->setDateAssigned(null);
$db_order->setCreatedBy($user->getId());
$db_order->setAttachmentId($order->getFaxId());
$db_order->setPatientId($order->getPatientId());
$db_order->setPaymentType($order->getPaymentType());
$db_order->setInsuranceName($order->getInsuranceName());
$db_order->setInsuranceNo($order->getInsuranceNo());
$db_order->setCash($order->getCash());
$db_order->setPrimaryClientId($order->getPrimaryClient());
$db_order->setSecondaryClients($secondaryClients);
$db_order->setEmployees($employees);
$db_order->setDates($dates);
$db_order->setNotes($note);
dump($db_order->getPatientId());
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entityManager->persist($db_order);
$entityManager->flush();
I was double checking with that dump before the persist and it has the field set correctly. Yet when the page runs...
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column
'patient_id' cannot be null
I don't understand how it could be null? Any ideas?

EDIT:
I decided to just run the SQL statement output by the persist against the DB and it seems not only was the patient missing but also the primary_client_id field. I now assume it has something to do with the associations I have in there for patients and primaryclient since those are the two fields that are missing. I'm not sure what would be wrong there though.

Answer 1

For the sake of posterity, after the discussion in the post comments this is the end result of my entity. It now saves the id's in the table, there was no need for a separate field JUST to save the int. The only big difference is I need to lookup the patient and primary Client to pass in, instead of just passing the id value (integer).
Code:
$patient = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository(Patients::class)
->find($order->getPatientId());
$primaryClient = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository(Clients::class)
->findOneById($order->getPrimaryClient());
$db_order = new Orders();
$db_order->setDateCreated(new \DateTime());
$db_order->setLastUpdated(null);
$db_order->setDateAssigned(null);
$db_order->setCreatedBy($user->getId());
$db_order->setAttachmentId($order->getFaxId());
$db_order->setPatient($patient);
$db_order->setPaymentType($order->getPaymentType());
$db_order->setInsuranceName($order->getInsuranceName());
$db_order->setInsuranceNo($order->getInsuranceNo());
$db_order->setCash($order->getCash());
$db_order->setPrimaryClient($primaryClient);
$db_order->setSecondaryClients($secondaryClients);
$db_order->setEmployees($employees);
$db_order->setDates($dates);
$db_order->setNotes($note);
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entityManager->persist($db_order);
$entityManager->flush();
