How do I want to search for a task with an ID, but without creating a relationship in USER? I can create a relationship in USER called tasks(), but I do not want to do this in this way. I want, for example:

$user = User::find(10);
$task = $user->boards()->lists()->tasks()->find($id);

Note that the tasks and lists table do not have a user_id field, only the board table

I TRY : $task = $user->boards()->lists()->tasks()->find($id);

Go the other way, start with what you want to get.

$userId = 10;
$tast = Task::query()
    ->whereHas('list', function($list) use ($userId) {
        $list->whereHas('board', function($board) use ($userId) {
            $board->where('user_id', $userId);
        });
    })
    ->find($id);

Short Form as suggested by @TBAWG:

$userId = 10;
$tast = Task::query()
    ->whereHas('list.board', function($board) use ($userId) {
        $board->where('user_id', $userId);
    })
    ->find($id);

You, of course, need the reverse relations of what you shared in your question.

• Task -> list
• list -> board

I would also suggest using findOrFail($id) instead of find($id) so it return a 404 in case of incorrect id.
