php - Laravel 7 updateOrCreate does not working

I'm having a weird problem with theupdateOrCreate function. If I the record is new there is no problem. But if the record exists it never gets updated. For example, I make this call, and it seems it's updated.

blade

<form action="{{ route('updateOrCreate') }}" method="post">
    @csrf
    <div class="ms-4">
        <div class="form-check">
            <input class="form-check-input" type="radio" value="1" id="yes" name="question" {{ optional(auth()->user()->skillMaster)->question == 1 ? 'checked' : '' }}>
            <label class="form-check-label" for="yes">
                Yes
            </label>
        </div>
        <div class="form-check">
            <input class="form-check-input" type="radio" value="0" id="no" name="question" {{ optional(auth()->user()->skillMaster)->question == 0 ? 'checked' : '' }}>
            <label class="form-check-label" for="no">
                No
            </label>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="mt-4">
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <label for="skill_name">Skill name</label>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="skill_name" name="skill_name" value="{{ optional(auth()->user()->skillMaster)->skill_name }}">
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <label for="year_obtaining_license">Year</label>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="year_obtaining_license" name="year_obtaining_license" value="{{ optional(auth()->user()->skillMaster)->year_obtaining_license }}">
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <label for="educational_background">Educational</label>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="educational_background" name="educational_background" value="{{ optional(auth()->user()->skillMaster)->educational_background }}">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="mt-4">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
    </div>
</form>

        'question' => $request->question,
        'skill_name' => $request->skill_name,
