Create pagetable page through api

[fbg13]

My code looks like this:

//the page
$p = new \ProcessWire\Page();
$p->template = 'template';
$p->parent   = $site->pages->get('/parent/');
$p->title    = 'title';
$p->save();

  // the child pages for the pagetable field
  $d = new \ProcessWire\Page();
  $d->template = 'template_pagetable';
  $d->parent   = $p->id;
  $d->title    = 'title';
  $d->save();

$p->save();

I get the page and it's children created, but the pagetable field doesn't have those pages set

instead they are displayed as a checkbox list

How can I add the child pages to the pageTable field?

not sure if this is right, and I'm on mobile. Have you tried to add them to the field?

After all pages are created, something like $page->pagetablefield->add($childpage);

@horst is right for sure.

The other possibility depending on your needs is this:

@horst's code worked.

Thank you.
