Laravel Nova: Assoicate current user to the created post

How can I associate the current logged in user who submitted the form to the post that will be created?

Hidden::make('User', 'created_by')->default(function ($request) {
   return $request->user()->id;
}),

Having a hidden field with default user_id value seems hackable. Is there any other way?

You can owerwrite the boot function in the model and set the user id in the created_by attribute using the auth() helper when creating the model. Or you can create an observer for your model and set the value when creating the model aswell.
