Customizing data before saving

On my BD I have:

$table->boolean('is_ready')->default(false);
$table->dateTime('marked_ready_at')->nullable();

$table->boolean('is_ready')->default(false);
$table->dateTime('marked_ready_at')->nullable();

On my form, I have:

Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_ready'),

Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_ready'),

In my model, I have:

protected $casts = [
        'marked_ready_at' => 'datetime',
        'created_at' => 'datetime',
        'updated_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

protected $casts = [
        'marked_ready_at' => 'datetime',
        'created_at' => 'datetime',
        'updated_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

I want when the toggle is used the 'marked_ready_at' to automatically grab the current date/time. I have tried the following: On my Pages/Edit

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array
{
    if ($this->record->is_ready) {
        $data['marked_ready_at'] = now();
    }

    return $data;
}

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array
{
    if ($this->record->is_ready) {
        $data['marked_ready_at'] = now();
    }

    return $data;
}

What I/m doing wrong? Is there a better approach? Thanks.

You try “afterStateUpdated” for Toggle ? Hidden::make(“marked_ready_at”), Toggle::make(“is_ready”)->afterStateUpdated(function($set, $state) :void {if($state}{$set(“marked_ready_at, now())});

and Hi, thank you for your time... I have done:

Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_ready')
    ->reactive()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Closure $set, $state) {
        $set('marked_ready_at', now());
    }),
Forms\Components\DateTimePicker::make('marked_ready_at'),

Forms\Components\Toggle::make('is_ready')
    ->reactive()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Closure $set, $state) {
        $set('marked_ready_at', now());
    }),
Forms\Components\DateTimePicker::make('marked_ready_at'),

Works, but... I want the date time to be grabbed when the user saves the record. Like this, the time and date recorded is the one when the toggle was used.

You can add an observer for model And for created event set marked_ready_at

Thanks... I'll look at that, just one question if you have the time, please. The "mutateFormDataBeforeSave" approach you consider not good for the case? Thanks. https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/admin/resources/editing-records#customizing-data-before-saving

If in method you change condition for if, ex: if($data[‘is_ready’] ?? false) {your code} not working ?

Thank you... I think I had my code wrong...

    protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array
    {
        if (!$this->record->is_ready) {
            $data['marked_ready_at'] = now();
        }

        return $data;
    }

    protected function mutateFormDataBeforeSave(array $data): array
    {
        if (!$this->record->is_ready) {
            $data['marked_ready_at'] = now();
        }

        return $data;
    }

By default "is_ready" is false. So, I have to check if it is false: "if ( ! $this->record->is_ready) ..." not: "if ( $this->record->is_ready) ..." Thanks for your time.
