Set default checkboxlist value

Can someone give me example how to have a checkboxlist with default value? i've tried this, but it's not working

CheckboxList::make('test')
  ->options([
      1 => 1,
      2 => 2,
      3 => 3,
      4 => 4,
  ])->default([2]),

CheckboxList::make('test')
  ->options([
      1 => 1,
      2 => 2,
      3 => 3,
      4 => 4,
  ])->default([2]),

You need to pass it as an array so [2,3,4] Noting that it will only work as default on new records not editing exisitng.

what if i want to checked some value in edit modal page?

You need to modify the data with mutating it, Filament/Livewire populate the form data on load from the mount function you see, so the form cannot set default values from values that do not exist.
