How to modify a model before form fill?

Hello. I have a laravel form I'm trying to convert into Filament. Before loading the create page I would reach out to an external database for info about the user. Is this possible to do with a filament resource?

public function fillApplicationPersonalInfo(): static
    {
        $this->id = $this->user->id ?? auth()->user()->id;
        $results = $this->getExternalUserPersonalInfo();
        $this->setData($results);

        return $this;
    }

public function fillApplicationPersonalInfo(): static
    {
        $this->id = $this->user->id ?? auth()->user()->id;
        $results = $this->getExternalUserPersonalInfo();
        $this->setData($results);

        return $this;
    }

This function sets attributes on my Application model so I have access to them on the create page.

Solution:

In the View page of the resource you can call the function above from the mount method. ``` class ViewModel extends ViewRecord { protected static string $resource = ModelResource::class;...

In the View page of the resource you can call the function above from the mount method.

class ViewModel extends ViewRecord
{
    protected static string $resource = ModelResource::class;

    public Model|int|string|null $record = null;

    public function mount(int|string $record): void
    {
        $this->record = Model::find($record);
        $this->record->fillApplicationPersonalInfo();
        $this->fillForm();
    }
}

class ViewModel extends ViewRecord
{
    protected static string $resource = ModelResource::class;

    public Model|int|string|null $record = null;

    public function mount(int|string $record): void
    {
        $this->record = Model::find($record);
        $this->record->fillApplicationPersonalInfo();
        $this->fillForm();
    }
}
