Laravel Backpack select_and_order: how to make options list dependent on model being edited

I have a select_and_order field that works in my

use App\Models\Tool;
class ProjectCrudController extends CrudController
{

protected function setupCreateOperation()
{
    CRUD::addField([
        'name' => 'tools'
        'type' => 'select_and_order',
        'options' => Tool::get()->pluck('selector','id'),
    ]);

Now the possible tools are dependent on the type of project, so instead of returning all tools to options as above, I would like something like

    CRUD::addField([
        'name' => 'tools'
        'type' => 'select_and_order',
        'options' => Tool
            ::projectTypeFilter($this->crud->model->type)
            ->pluck('selector','id'),
    ]);

But the new query returns [] because - as far as I can see - $this->crud->model is not hydrated.

protected function setupUpdateOperation()
{
    CRUD::addField([
        'name' => 'naam',
        'type' => 'select_and_order',
        'options' => dump($this->crud->getModel()),
    ]);
}

shows

}

How can I have the model hydrated?

I think what you're looking for is not $this->crud->getModel() (which will get you the Eloquent model class), but $this->crud->getCurrentEntry() which will get you:

• false, if the model has not been hydrate (eg. inside setupCreateOperation(), where there is no current entry to speak of);
• the current entry for that Eloquent model, if present (eg. inside setupUpdateOperation();
