CreateAnother Retain Some Data

With the panel builder, CreateAction, how can i retain data when a user clicks the create another button? Ive seen quite a few different ways to go about it, but none of them seemed that clean or native. Right now I am not even doing a custom action() and hoping i dont have to redo that whole process.

public static function createComparable($action, $form, $data, $livewire, $arguments): void
{
    $model = $action->getModel();
    $record = $action->process(function (array $data, Table $table) use ($model): Model {
        $relationship = $table->getRelationship();

This works, but not my favorite solution as i have to include a lot of logic that im not overriding. If i can avoid it, please let me know. Im then calling it with:

->action(fn ($action, $form, $data, $livewire, $arguments) => ComparableUnit::createComparable($action, $form, $data, $livewire, $arguments))

->action(fn ($action, $form, $data, $livewire, $arguments) => ComparableUnit::createComparable($action, $form, $data, $livewire, $arguments))

ah shoot, this would require changes based on if this is a standalone or table action too. grrr There has to be a better way to do this. Seems pretty natural to want some customization with create another fills

I needed something similar but also wasn't satisfied. I simply get the latest created model and fill it with that. This will inevitably introduce race conditions though. But in my case it was only for models that also have a user_id on it so it was no big deal🤔
