Laravel – How can i automatically insert the currnet user_id after submitting a form in Filament v3.0

I’m currently working on a project in FilamnentPHP v3 and I am trying to figure out how to automatically pass the current user_id to my database-entity.

I thought of creating a hidden input-field and setting the default value of the field to the current user_id. But it seems like Filament ignore the hidden() TextInput and inserts null or does simply nothing.

My wrong solution

TextInput::make('user_id')
        ->label(__('messages.created_by'))
        ->required()
        ->default(
              Filament::auth()->id()
        )->readOnly()
            ->hidden()

So is there any way to pass values automatically to the database after the form-submit in Filament v3.

I also tried to look through the dilament-docu but I hab no real luck finding something that helps me to solve my problem

    you can try creating an observer for the model.

    class PostObserver
{
  public function creating(Post $post)
  {
    if (!isset($post->user_id) && auth()->check()) {
      $post->user_id = auth()->id();
    }
  }
}

    Also you can use this way.
    for example,if you want to insert the auth user id to blog table (created_by) so you can track who created this blog.
    you can use model event in event service provider:
    like this. and it will work.

       /**
     * Register any events for your application.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        //
        Blog::creating(function($blog){
            $blog->created_by = auth()->id();
            });

            Blog::updating(function($blog){
                $blog->updated_by = auth()->id();
                });
    }
