I think you should change
{{ (old('available') == 'unknown') ? 'checked' : ''}}
to
{{ (old('available', 'unknown') == 'unknown') ? 'checked' : ''}}
Now, you pass a default value for "available" if the old value is not set.

Retain value of radio button, but set default value
I'm using old() to retain radio button selection after form validation error in Laravel, but I also want to make option "Unknown" selected by default.
The form element looks like this:
<label for="description">Product Available</label><br/>
<label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="available" id="available" value="yes" {{ (old('available') == 'yes') ? 'checked' : ''}}>Yes</label>
<label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="available" id="available" value="no" {{ (old('available') == 'no') ? 'checked' : ''}}> No</label>
<label class="radio-inline"><input type="radio" name="available" id="available" value="unknown" {{ (old('available') == 'unknown') ? 'checked' : ''}}> Unknown</label>
This works fine, but I need the "Unknown" option to be set by default when opening form without overriding "old()" data.
How can I do this?
