Conditionally set $errorBag property

I want to conditionally set $errorBag property inside Form Request:

protected $errorBag = $this->isMethod('patch') ? 'visit' . $this->visit->id : 'new';

but it gives me this error:

Constant expression contains invalid operations

Is there any way to do this?

You cannot set a property dynamically outside of a method.

public function foo()
{
    $this->errorBag = $this->isMethod('patch') ? 'visit' . $this->visit->id : 'new';

}
