Make the Current user of the panel as an input to the form

Hello, I'm making something like: the admin puts information for the users, The information should be marked in my db as that admin is the one who wrote it, How should I do that?

Foreign id for admin like 'created_by'

yeah It's done in the model and the db all good, but the form that I should fill requires typing the email of the current admin, I don't want that, I want it to automatically bring it from the app

For this I have 2 options, you can choose whatever you like. 1. Mutate form before creating https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/admin/resources/creating-records#customizing-data-before-saving 2. Laravel Observer https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/eloquent#observers

if I precise more, here

  ->schema([
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('admin')
                    ->hidden()
                    -
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),

  ->schema([
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('admin')
                    ->hidden()
                    -
                    ->required()
                    ->maxLength(255),

this is the nput I want here instead of this, to make a function that brings the user email, the function is already done, it just returns the email from the model but how to assign it as an input 🥲

I don't understand what you're trying..

if admin is a relation in the model you can do admin.email

XeOP•15mo ago

now I'm doing this

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
{
    $data['admin'] = auth()->email();
 
    return $data;
}

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
{
    $data['admin'] = auth()->email();
 
    return $data;
}

In the create page, but that's obv wrong, how can I get the email here? yes, but how to input that?

Lara Zeus•15mo ago

this should work $data['admin'] = auth()->user()->email;
