select input for actions

I am not sure if this is in the documentation as I cant find any reference... I have my list table, and they each have the view, edit and delete action. However, I then want to create a 4th action that is a dropdown populated with language locales. I want the option to open the dropdown and select a language locale then I can do the custom action to open the edit screen but with the content of that locale

Or on an alternative approach, looking into live form updating. I can see the documentation has this:

Select::make('type')
    ->options([
        'employee' => 'Employee',
        'freelancer' => 'Freelancer',
    ])
    ->live()
    ->afterStateUpdated(fn (Select $component) => $component
        ->getContainer()
        ->getComponent('dynamicTypeFields')
        ->getChildComponentContainer()
        ->fill())
    
Grid::make(2)
    ->schema(fn (Get $get): array => match ($get('type')) {
        'employee' => [
            TextInput::make('employee_number')
                ->required(),
            FileUpload::make('badge')
                ->image()
                ->required(),
        ],
        'freelancer' => [
            TextInput::make('hourly_rate')
                ->numeric()
                ->required()
                ->prefix('€'),
            FileUpload::make('contract')
                ->required(),
        ],
        default => [],
    })
    ->key('dynamicTypeFields')

Select::make('type')
    ->options([
        'employee' => 'Employee',
        'freelancer' => 'Freelancer',
    ])
    ->live()
    ->afterStateUpdated(fn (Select $component) => $component
        ->getContainer()
        ->getComponent('dynamicTypeFields')
        ->getChildComponentContainer()
        ->fill())
    
Grid::make(2)
    ->schema(fn (Get $get): array => match ($get('type')) {
        'employee' => [
            TextInput::make('employee_number')
                ->required(),
            FileUpload::make('badge')
                ->image()
                ->required(),
        ],
        'freelancer' => [
            TextInput::make('hourly_rate')
                ->numeric()
                ->required()
                ->prefix('€'),
            FileUpload::make('contract')
                ->required(),
        ],
        default => [],
    })
    ->key('dynamicTypeFields')

However, The options of my form will be dynamic from a model... so how can I do the second part where the keys are filled with dynamic content. So if the option changes to spanish, I want to load the content from the pivot table where the locale is "es" if I change my value with the code setup, I get

Call to a member function getChildComponentContainer() on null

Call to a member function getChildComponentContainer() on null

If I remove that line, I get call fill() on null. This is my code

                                return Locales::all()->pluck('title', 'locale');
                            })

                        $dynamicTypeFieldsComponent->getParentComponent('title')->fill($translated);
                    }),

Why is my value of title not updating. $translated has valid content. And the getParentComponent does return the correct TextInput Nevermind.
