Default date of DatePicker

Hello, when I use ->default() for a DatePicker in a form filter does not work. Any solutions?

DatePicker::make('startDate')->default(now())

DatePicker::make('startDate')->default(now())

This is my code

DatePicker::make('startDate')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (?string $state) => $state ?? now()->format('Y-m-d'))

DatePicker::make('startDate')
    ->formatStateUsing(fn (?string $state) => $state ?? now()->format('Y-m-d'))

Thanks, I also found out that it also works by adding the following code at the end of the form:

 ->fill(['startDate' => now()])

 ->fill(['startDate' => now()])

Which one should I use?

Not sure if fill() will work on each livewire request
