import csv and generate slug before save the post

I need to generate a slug while the records are imported. I tried to use beforeCreate function but can't find any example about how to use it. I tried:

protected function beforeCreate() : void
    {
        $this->data['slug'] = Str::slug($this->data['name']);
    }

protected function beforeCreate() : void
    {
        $this->data['slug'] = Str::slug($this->data['name']);
    }

but does not seems to work, when import the data I get a sql error because of missing slug.

I would either do it on the fly, so the users can see it. with ->live() in a hidden field. or tbh, I like using model attributes: setSlugAttribute() and if empty slug, str::slug. But the probably is then you don't have a unique rule. so you need to ideally then create a unique validation too.

I would suggest you use: mutateFormDataBeforeCreate

    foreach ($additionalFields as $field) {
        if (array_key_exists($field, $this->data)) {
            $this->record->{$field} = $this->data[$field];

When using the import action you can do this in the resolveRecord() function (https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/actions/prebuilt-actions/import#updating-existing-records-when-importing). You can access $this->data here, create the slug and then initiate the model with the slug.
