how to call a custom function within the action method

In v2 the following code successfully calls a custom function using the 'action' method:

->action(fn () => $this->fillFormFields())

->action(fn () => $this->fillFormFields())

However, in version 3 this code no longer works. Could you please guide me on how to call a custom function within the action method in filament v3?

Solution:

I think in this case the CreateAction is a redirect to the create page. You could use a custom action ```php \Filament\Actions\Action::make('generate') ->action('fillFormFields')...

Is fullFormFiles custom? It should work, id you dd within the filleFormFields? you can always try self::fillFormFields but it shouldn't matter as it's just a closure

I think in this case the CreateAction is a redirect to the create page. You could use a custom action

\Filament\Actions\Action::make('generate')
    ->action('fillFormFields')

\Filament\Actions\Action::make('generate')
    ->action('fillFormFields')

public function fillFormFields()
{
    //...
}

public function fillFormFields()
{
    //...
}
