Access record data

Is it possible to access the data of a record before returning the form?

  public static function form(Form $form): Form
  {
    // Here I would like to access the record data before returning the form

      return $form
          ->columns(1)
          ->schema(Product::getForm());
  }

  public static function form(Form $form): Form
  {
    // Here I would like to access the record data before returning the form

      return $form
          ->columns(1)
          ->schema(Product::getForm());
  }

you could inject the Component into your required method in your form ( https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/advanced#injecting-the-current-livewire-component-instance ) Or if you really need to access the record data, i managed to do that including the form method directly into the view/edit Pages. there it would not be static anymore so it should have access to the record

 public function form(Form $form): Form
  {
    // Here I would like to access the record data before returning the form
      $record = $this->getRecord();
      return $form
          ->columns(1)
          ->schema(Product::getForm());
  }

 public function form(Form $form): Form
  {
    // Here I would like to access the record data before returning the form
      $record = $this->getRecord();
      return $form
          ->columns(1)
          ->schema(Product::getForm());
  }

You can use mutateFormDataBeforeCreate if you want This wont be possible inthe create page, as there is no record (therefore null)

Yeah, you are right, I was thinking that by asking to access the data of a record, there must have been a record to begin with, like on the view/edit.
