Boolean not saving with underscore in field name.

I'm working with a legacy database that has some tinytext/boolean fields that begin with "_field_name". [leading underscore] I have set casting on model to boolean yet they do not save/update. I cannot change the field names.

Toggle::make('_hide')->label('Hide'),  //does not work

Toggle::make('_hide')->label('Hide'),  //does not work

Toggle::make('test_hide')->label('Hide'),  //works fine

Toggle::make('test_hide')->label('Hide'),  //works fine

I think somewhere the underscore is being stripped off. Any ideas how to fix this?

if it was stripped you would have an error bc missing database column are you sure its $fillable or something?

I just spit out from mutateFormDataBeforeSave and can see it's working at that point...so i went next level and dd() inside Laravels updating lifecycle... that's where it is not right. I think its a Laravel naming convention thing looks like it's Laravel, not filament. 🤔 inside filament mutateFormDataBeforeSave I get $data['_hide'] == true but inside model updating I get $model->_hide = 0;

yeah, just figured it out I had

    protected $guarded=[];

    protected $guarded=[];

but I needed to explicitly set them:

    protected $fillable=[
        '_hide',
    ];

    protected $fillable=[
        '_hide',
    ];

sigh, thanks Dan
