mutateFormDataBeforeCreate question

I want to send an API request before I store data in my DB so I use mutateFormDataBeforeCreate in my relevant Create Record page. Is it the most suitable way to interrupt the saving process ? I noticed that

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        dd($data);
        return $data;
    }

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        dd($data);
        return $data;
    }

Select::make('sshKeys')
                    ->multiple()
                    ->relationship('sshKeys', 'name')
                    ->required()
                    ->preload()
                    ->label('SSH Key'),

Select::make('sshKeys')
                    ->multiple()
                    ->relationship('sshKeys', 'name')
                    ->required()
                    ->preload()
                    ->label('SSH Key'),

When I try to get the data I cannot see the multi select data that are in a many to many relationship. Do you know why? Thanks!

Try $this->form->getRawState() without validation and $this->form->getState() with validation.

It worked with $this->form->getRawState(). Thanks!

Just be cautious. That data hasn’t been validated.

Is this a good way to interrupt the creating process to send the API call to an external service?

As good as any I guess. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it.
