Fetch data from API and fill form

is there anyway to achieve this in filament? a form with a text input, and a fetch button. enter user's social security number, and fetch all other data and fill the form automatically.
Solution:
You can use a suffix action on the text input. Here, you can inject the $state and the $set variables. The latter allows you to set the state values of other fields in your form. I hope this helps ```php return $form ->schema([ Forms\Components\TextInput::make('social_security_number')...
