default value on form select not populating

I am attempting to have a value preselected when the Select item loads on a form. I only found two references to the default function in the docs, but no explanation on how to use it. I assume you pass an item that is in the options collection. Here is a snippet of what I tried: $roles = Role::all()->pluck('name', 'id'); $defaultRole = $roles->first(); Select::make('role') ->options($roles) ->default($defaultRole) Any reason why this isn't populating the default value?

my mistake, I was able to figure it out ->relationship('roles','name')

One small tip:

// You can call pluck directly on the query instead of the resulting collection
// This way you won't get any errors from phpstan
$roles = Role::pluck('name', 'id')

I didn't know that filament would automatically populate the value for me, that's convenient

just in case you need it somewhere else
