Save form from a header action

Is it possible to save a form from a header action (or before a header action? Let's say I have the following header actions in an edit form

protected function getHeaderActions(): array {
  return [
    Action::make('print'),
    Action::make('duplicate'),
  ]
}

protected function getHeaderActions(): array {
  return [
    Action::make('print'),
    Action::make('duplicate'),
  ]
}

Is there a way to submit the form before any of those actions is executed? Or somehow submit it inside the button action itself? I tried this but it doesn't work

Action::make('test')
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->action(fn (array $data) => dd($data)), // Data is empty

Action::make('test')
    ->requiresConfirmation()
    ->action(fn (array $data) => dd($data)), // Data is empty

Or if there's a way to detect if a form has been changed and then ask for a confirmation to save before proceeding? Any ideas are welcome.

Solution:

Oh okay, you can do something like this: ```php Action::make('doSomething') ->action(function($record, $data) {...

Hi ! You can try this:

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            // Custom Save Form Action
            Action::make('save')
                ->label(__('filament-panels::resources/pages/edit-record.form.actions.save.label'))
                ->action('save')
        ];
    }

protected function getHeaderActions(): array
    {
        return [
            Actions\DeleteAction::make(),
            // Custom Save Form Action
            Action::make('save')
                ->label(__('filament-panels::resources/pages/edit-record.form.actions.save.label'))
                ->action('save')
        ];
    }

Hey sorry I wasn't clear in my original question. I want to save the form and do something else in the action. An example would be something like

 Action::make('doSomething')
  ->action(function($record, $data) {
    $record->update($data);
    // ... do something else in the action
  )

 Action::make('doSomething')
  ->action(function($record, $data) {
    $record->update($data);
    // ... do something else in the action
  )

Thanks for you suggestion though - I think I might actually need it soon!
