using an accessor as the attribute in a selectFilter in table

Hi, is it possible to use accessor as filters in tables? I'm trying to use an accessor in a SelectFilter and I'm getting the following error:

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'publish_status' in 'where clause'

My code is the following

$table->filters([
                SelectFilter::make('status')
                    ->label('Publish status')
                    ->options([
                        'published' => 'published',
                        'scheduled'  => 'scheduled',
                        'draft' => 'draft',
                    ])
                    ->attribute('publish_status'),
            ])

And the accesor in the model is the following

public function publishStatus(): Attribute
    {
        return Attribute::make(
            get: function() {
                if ($this->published_at) {
                    return 'published';
                }

                if ($this->scheduled_at) {
                    return 'scheduled';
                }

                return 'draft';
            },
        );
    }

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi, is it possible to use accessor as filters in tables?

Short answer: No Long answer: Search and filters are performed on the database level, therefore it needs a database column.

thanks for the answer. Is there a way to use the query method with the options of a select filter? If not, I will probably have to split each field into a different filter

You mean ->query()? Yes you should be able to overwrite the default behaviour
