set value of a hidden form field in laravel admin

Question

I want to set a default value for a hidden form field in laravel 8.

$form->hidden("product.product_type")->value('1')->setDisplay(false); 

Here after saving the form, the value is set as null and not 1. What could be the solution?

Answer 1

you have to chain default function

$form->hidden("product.product_type")->value('1')->setDisplay(false)->default('Any Value');

as per documentation here
