How can I fill a field on the edit form that isn't saved to the database?

On a create form, I have a 3-tiered dependent dropdown. For example: On a Person model I might have the following Country -> State/Province -> City In the database on the persons table I'm only saving the city_id since I can always look up the state and country via the city. I have this working on the create form but when someone clicks to edit the form, how can I fill in the country_id and state_province_id since these don't exist from the data? My code:

Forms\Components\Select::make('country_id')
    ->label('Country')
    ->live()
    ->relationship('country', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Forms\Set $set): void {
        $set('state_province_id', null);
        $set('city_id', null);
    })
    ->dehydrated(false),

Forms\Components\Select::make('state_province_id')
    ->label('State/Province')
    ->live()
    ->disabled(fn (Forms\Get $get): bool => ! filled($get('country_id')))
    ->relationship('stateProvince', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Forms\Set $set): void {
        $set('city_id', null);
    })
    ->dehydrated(false),

Forms\Components\Select::make('city_id')
    ->label('City')
    ->relationship('city', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->required()
    ->exists(City::class, 'id'),

Forms\Components\Select::make('country_id')
    ->label('Country')
    ->live()
    ->relationship('country', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Forms\Set $set): void {
        $set('state_province_id', null);
        $set('city_id', null);
    })
    ->dehydrated(false),

Forms\Components\Select::make('state_province_id')
    ->label('State/Province')
    ->live()
    ->disabled(fn (Forms\Get $get): bool => ! filled($get('country_id')))
    ->relationship('stateProvince', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->afterStateUpdated(function (Forms\Set $set): void {
        $set('city_id', null);
    })
    ->dehydrated(false),

Forms\Components\Select::make('city_id')
    ->label('City')
    ->relationship('city', 'name')
    ->searchable()
    ->preload()
    ->required()
    ->exists(City::class, 'id'),

Should I be using `Filament::user()` instead of `Auth::user()`?

I see the documentation uses the former sometimes and I'm not sure if I should be using that instead of Auth::user().

How come we need to disable the SoftDeletingScope::class on the resource but not on relation manager

I'm starting to implement soft deletes across my models and while the documentation says we need to add ->withoutGlobalScope(SoftDeletingScope::class) to the resource, why then do I not need to add this to the relation manager class via the ->modifyQueryUsing() method?

Is it possible to pass the parent record to the gate of a relation manager?

I have a Work Orders resource and on the edit page of each is a relation manager for Work Order Notes. I have policies for both models. I only want to allow a work order note to be created on work orders that the logged in user owns. The problem is that Filament checks a create method on the WorkOrderNotePolicy that doesn't pass in anything other than the user. Eg.

class WorkOrderNotePolicy
{
    public function create(User $user): bool
    {
        //
    }
}

class WorkOrderNotePolicy
{
    public function create(User $user): bool
    {
        //
    }
}

Is there a way that I can pass in the parent/owner record to this method on the policy?

Has anyone successfully parsed the rich editor/trix field from the raw data in the database?

I have an application that has used the trix editor for a while. I need to migrate this data to a new application that also uses the trix editor for the same field but the difference in this new application is that it doesn't allow file uploads in the field like the old application did. Wondering what the best way would be to rip those files out of the body of that field and upload them properly for the record. Anyone have any experience here?

How can I aggregate a field on a pivot table with TextColumn->sum()?

My code:

TextColumn::make('locations_sum_available_quantity')
    ->label('Inventory')
    ->sum('locations', 'inventories.available_quantity')
    ->badge()
    ->alignCenter()
    ->sortable(),

TextColumn::make('locations_sum_available_quantity')
    ->label('Inventory')
    ->sum('locations', 'inventories.available_quantity')
    ->badge()
    ->alignCenter()
    ->sortable(),

I can't seem to get this to work. Is it possible to aggregate a field on the pivot table?

When would you ever not want `isImportant` on the `configureUsing` method?

Related: https://discord.com/channels/883083792112300104/1344421288919302215 I had to fix some configuration that I was doing in a service provider and needed to set the isImportant flag to true. Can anyone tell me why I wouldn't want to always set this to true? I'm not understanding why this is even a thing? Thanks.

Can't seem to globally change the AttachAction modal width?

I have a service provider where I'm configuring defaults for many components. One component I'm trying to configure is the Filament\Tables\Actions\AttachAction modalWidth. I'm doing the following:

        Tables\Actions\AttachAction::configureUsing(function (Tables\Actions\AttachAction $component): void {
            $component->modalWidth(MaxWidth::Medium);
        });

        Tables\Actions\AttachAction::configureUsing(function (Tables\Actions\AttachAction $component): void {
            $component->modalWidth(MaxWidth::Medium);
        });

This does not seem to be working though. Any ideas why? It seems both the AttachAction and the AssociateAction are setting the modal width in their setUp method and I thought I could override this in the configureUsing should I not be able to?

Is there a way to allow Split (table layout) to work on all breakpoints?

For example, even if I do ->from('2xl') then it still only works on all BUT 2xl. I want it to work on all and never switch to the traditional layout.

Is there a way to evaluate this immediately without returning a closure?

I want to return an array here but I also need to check the operation of the form if it's in create or edit. I don't want to return a closure because it's slower due to querying the database when the user focuses the field. I'd rather load these on page load which returning an array would do.

Forms\Components\Select::make('priority')->options(fn (string $operation) => WorkOrderStatus::options($operation))

Forms\Components\Select::make('priority')->options(fn (string $operation) => WorkOrderStatus::options($operation))

How can I disable global search for a resource while still setting a `recordTitleAttribute`?

I have several resources but I want to exclude a few from the global search. Unfortunately I do not want to remove the $recordTitleAttribute because this does other things for the resource like handling the breadcrumbs and titles. The documentation shows how I can disable it for the panel, but I don't want to do that. I just want to disable it for the specific resource. Is this possible?
