Modal edits#

Relation managers, simple resources and any table with an EditAction edit records in a modal. Add coEdit() at the end of the chain:

use Filament\Actions\EditAction;

->recordActions([
    EditAction::make()->coEdit(),
])

The modal gets the avatars and field markers, and its save merges.

A modal has no room for a second dialog, so a conflict works in two steps. The first submit stops, and a notice shows their value for each field you both changed. Submit again to keep yours, or close the modal to keep theirs.

The merge runs before the form is validated, as on an edit page, so before() and after() go anywhere in the chain. Put afterFormFilled(), beforeFormValidated() and any action() that replaces the save before coEdit() in the chain, so that coEdit() wraps them.

If afterFormFilled() or beforeFormValidated() comes after coEdit(), it replaces a part of the merge; the save then fails loudly (in production it is reported through your exception handler) instead of overwriting anyone unseen. An action() that comes after coEdit() still merges, but its save is not announced to the others.

coEdit(ignore: ['slug']) leaves fields out of the merge, and coEdit(presence: false) keeps the merge without the avatars.
