I've posted this SO question to see if there was a way to handle this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75943586/gorm-createinbatches-with-embedded-struct-error
But, from what I'm finding, when you Create, the insert statement isn't omitting the sub objects if you have the embedded tag on them. Is there a way around this so I can use the embedded tag for SELECT JOINs and not when doing INSERTS?

Initially, I thought this would work but it doesn't as gorm doesn't include embedded struct in the schema field names
db.Omit("EmbeddedStruct").Create(&myStruct) // doesn't work
This works but it's not very elegant
db.Omit("embedded_field_1", "embedded_field_2").Create(&myStruct)
My suggestion would be to remove the embedded tag and do SELECT JOINS like this
db.Joins("EmbeddedStruct").Find(&myStruct)

Currently, when parsing the schema, the embedded information for searching is not marked, even if it has been stored in these places
https://github.com/go-gorm/gorm/blob/32fc2015543c41557a364d45213ca6c710b478bd/schema/schema.go#L29 https://github.com/go-gorm/gorm/blob/32fc2015543c41557a364d45213ca6c710b478bd/schema/field.go#L56
We can optimize SelectAndOmitColumns to support it https://github.com/go-gorm/gorm/blob/32fc2015543c41557a364d45213ca6c710b478bd/statement.go#L689
I'm not sure this is a practical feature, if anyone wants to support this feature, please leave a comment in the issues so it will be listed as a feature.
