how to mutate data in record in relation in form

I have a userResource for User table which has a metadata table with its foreign-key. I have added form fields of metadata with Users fields in one form like this:

return $form
            ->schema([
//user table field...
...
       Fieldset::make('Metadata')
         ->relationship('metadata')
         ->schema([
                    Forms\Components\TextInput::make('experience')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                 ]),

return $form
            ->schema([
//user table field...
...
       Fieldset::make('Metadata')
         ->relationship('metadata')
         ->schema([
                    Forms\Components\TextInput::make('experience')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                 ]),

I want to mutate "experience" field of metadata before filling this form. I tried mutateRecordDataUsing, but it is not working, even dd($data) is not triggering.

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->label('Edit')
                ->mutateRecordDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
                    dd($data);
      }

->actions([
                Tables\Actions\EditAction::make()->label('Edit')
                ->mutateRecordDataUsing(function (array $data): array {
                    dd($data);
      }

How do I do this?

Can you try mutateFormDataUsing ?

I guess mutateFormDataUsing is to mutate data before storing it. I also tried that but it is not working

LeandroFerreira•2y ago

ahh sorry, before filling the form...

try using ->saveRelationShipDataUsing() oh, before, then load instead of save

mutateRecordDataUsing should work I think What about an accessor? https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent-mutators#defining-an-accessor

mutateRecordDataUsing works fine on RelationManager for metadata table but it is not working on UserResource.

LeandroFerreira•2y ago

You can try an accessor I think...

Yes Thanks, That works, but that applies mutation globally. If any other part of application tries to access that field than it will get modified data. In that case I have to remove my RelationManagers mutators. I was looking to mutate locally.
