Not sure what the NovaRequest class does, maybe you can use the regular Illuminate\Http\Request class?

Set field default with url GET parameter
I'd like to set the default value for a field with a get paramter for my create form. For my field i use the default() method, but i can't access the initial get paramter (exmaple.com/contact/new?name=defaultName):
Text::make('Name', 'name')->default(function(NovaRequest $request) {
return $request->get('name');
}),
Any idea how i can set the default value by a get parameter?

And instead of a callback, have you tried the inline option: https://nova.laravel.com/docs/4.0/resources/fields.html#default-values
Text::make('Name', 'name')->default($request->input('name'));

NovaRequest extends the default Request class. I also used the request() helper but i dont get the initial get paramters. When loading e.g. exmaple.com/contact/new?name=defaultName the page loads and then the component/fields are loaded without my paramter.

@nakov even inline it doesnt work, because i can't access my url parameter.
request()->all():
array:6 [▼
"editing" => "true"
"editMode" => "create"
"inline" => "false"
"viaResource" => null
"viaResourceId" => null
"viaRelationship" => null
]

@DivDax Take a look at this example here: https://github.com/laravel/nova-issues/issues/1650#issuecomment-699612345
Seems like you are facing the same issue, so the code there should help.
