Default value in Select input

I want to set one value as default, but the default() is not working. I have had this problem many times. Is there an issue with Select or am I doing something wrong ?

php
Select::make('date_format')
                            ->options([
                                'm/d/Y' => date('m/d/Y'),  // Key is the format, value is the formatted date
                                'n/j/y' => date('n/j/y'),
                                'F j, Y' => date('F j, Y'),
                                'M j, Y' => date('M j, Y'),
                            ])
                            ->default('m/d/Y')  // Set the key as the default, which corresponds to the formatted date
                            ->label('Date Format'),

this is my code.

Solution:

SettingsPage is not a CreatePage though. I uses already existing data.

Is this on a Create or Edit page?

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

Note that these defaults are only used when the form is loaded without existing data. Inside panel resources this only works on Create Pages, as Edit Pages will always fill the data from the model.

Create Page

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

Copied your code an this is what I get.

namrata•3mo ago

The default is being set ?

namrata•3mo ago

It is not in mine.

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

What version are you using? Can you run php artisan about --only=filament?

namrata•3mo ago

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

Can you try upgrading to the latest version and see whether that changes anything?

namrata•3mo ago

Sure. - Upgrading filament/filament (v3.2.92 => v3.2.98) but still not working This ia actually not in resource but in page Could that be causing issues ?

Kiran Timsina•3mo ago

I tried your code. Strange. There's not default set. It's "Select an option" in my.

namrata•3mo ago

Yes, it is working in the resource, but not in Page.

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

Custom page? Can you share the code?

Dennis Koch•3mo ago

If you want to mutate data you need to use the mutateDataBeforeFill() hook
