Passing form values from an element to a table in cakephp

I have a IT query system where users add their queries. When i view the query i should be able to add a response to the query. The response should be added to table named it_query_responses and Model name is ItQueryResponse.

Through an element i am including the add response in the view.ctp for the IT queries. Challenge that i am having now is that the element is not saving the response into the it_query_responses table.

Here is my add function for response controller

    public function add() {
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
    $this->ItQueryResponse->create();
    if ($this->ItQueryResponse->save($this->request->data)) {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The it query response has been saved'));
    $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
    } else {
    $this->Session->setFlash(__('The it query response could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
    }
    }
    $itQueries = $this->ItQueryResponse->ItQuery->find('list');
    $hrEmployees = $this->ItQueryResponse->HrEmployee->find('list');
    $itQueryStatuses = $this->ItQueryResponse->ItQueryStatus->find('list');
    $this->set(compact('itQueries', 'hrEmployees', 'itQueryStatuses'));
    }

and here is how i am calling my element after the closing div in view.ctp

    <?php echo $this->element('ItQueryResponses/add'); ?>

here is the code for my element

    <?php echo $this->Form->create('ItQueryResponse'); ?>
    <fieldset>
    <legend><?php echo __('Add It Query Response'); ?></legend>
    <?php
    echo $this->Form->input('it_query_id');
    echo $this->Form->input('hr_employee_id');
    echo $this->Form->input('response');
    echo $this->Form->input('it_query_status_id');
    ?>
    </fieldset>
    <?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>   
   

Thank you in advance.
