How to prefill data after "createAnother" action?

Hey, just wanna maintain some inputs prefilled when I hit the "createAnother" button. I'm trying some Action methods but can't get it :/

protected function getCreateAnotherFormAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('createAnother')
            ->label(__('createAnother'))
            ->dispatchSuccessRedirect()
            ->beforeFormFilled(function () {
                $this->data['employee_id'] = request('employee_id');
                $this->data['project_id'] = request('project_id');
                $this->data['date'] = request('date');
                $this->data['imputation_type'] = request('imputation_type');
            })
            ->action('createAnother')
            ->keyBindings(['mod+shift+s'])
            ->color('secondary');
    }

protected function getCreateAnotherFormAction(): Action
    {
        return Action::make('createAnother')
            ->label(__('createAnother'))
            ->dispatchSuccessRedirect()
            ->beforeFormFilled(function () {
                $this->data['employee_id'] = request('employee_id');
                $this->data['project_id'] = request('project_id');
                $this->data['date'] = request('date');
                $this->data['imputation_type'] = request('imputation_type');
            })
            ->action('createAnother')
            ->keyBindings(['mod+shift+s'])
            ->color('secondary');
    }

you just need default() values on the fields request() wont work, this is not a controller. store the fields in the session or something before they are saved and then access from there

hm yep it works with session flash, but how can I store the session only when "createAnother" event. I've tried using "afterCreate" method

Dan Harrin•2y ago

you could override createAnother(), store the data in session, and then parent::createAnother()

magarrentOP•2y ago

Allright it works! Just added the session store after:

 if ($another) {
     session()->flash('dataFill', $this->data);

 if ($another) {
     session()->flash('dataFill', $this->data);

public function create(bool $another = false): void

public function create(bool $another = false): void

` Thanks mate!
