Get value of field within an action

I have a field which uses a hintAction. This action opens a modal window and I want to prefill the field with the value of the component that triggers the action. I though of using fillForm but I don't see how to use e.g. a $get within that function. The documenation shows an example with $this->record but that doesn't work. This is the code:

->form([
  RichEditor::make('job_description_original')
      ->disableAllToolbarButtons()
      ->label('Origineel')
      ->afterStateHydrated(function ($get) {
          dd($get('job_description')); // returns null?
      })
      ->disabled(),

->form([
  RichEditor::make('job_description_original')
      ->disableAllToolbarButtons()
      ->label('Origineel')
      ->afterStateHydrated(function ($get) {
          dd($get('job_description')); // returns null?
      })
      ->disabled(),

I also tried to use the default function, which works, but I don't want the default to be the $record value, but the actual value inside the component:

->default(fn ($record) => $record->job_description), // works, but only with $record, not with $get

->default(fn ($record) => $record->job_description), // works, but only with $record, not with $get

What is the best practice in this case?

Solution:

Maybe this

    ->default(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->data['job_description'])

    ->default(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->data['job_description'])

...

Maybe this

    ->default(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->data['job_description'])

    ->default(fn ($livewire) => $livewire->data['job_description'])

Right. That indeed does the trick. Thanks!
