Basic question regarding relationships in a resource

I have a Post resource, that has a user_id column, and in my form method I have this array:

public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('title')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('content')
                    ->required()
                    ->minLength(5),

            ]);
    }

public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('title')
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),
                Forms\Components\Textarea::make('content')
                    ->required()
                    ->minLength(5),

            ]);
    }

How can I automatically save the current authenticated user in the user_id? I have searched the documentation and tried it on the CreatePost class with the mutateFormDataBeforeCreate method but sill doesn't work.

Hi mate, try this one inside your related model create this function

public function setUserIdAttribute($value)
{
    $this->attributes['user_id'] = auth()->id();
}

public function setUserIdAttribute($value)
{
    $this->attributes['user_id'] = auth()->id();
}

Let me know if you found any issues Cheers!

You also can try by using Laravel Events and insert it to your related model.

protected static function booted(): void
{
    static::creating(function (User $user) {
        if (auth()->hasUser()) {
            $user->user_id = auth()->user()->id;
        }
    });
}

protected static function booted(): void
{
    static::creating(function (User $user) {
        if (auth()->hasUser()) {
            $user->user_id = auth()->user()->id;
        }
    });
}
