Answer 1

You can use this condition inside the fields function to check if this is an update or create request, For example

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    if($request->resourceId === null)
    {
        //this is a create request
        return
        [
            ID::make('ID', 'tenant_id')->sortable(),
            Text::make('Userame', 'username'),
            Image::make('Profile', 'user_file')
        ]
    }
    else
    {
        return
        [
            ID::make('ID', 'tenant_id')->sortable(),
            Image::make('Profile', 'user_file')
        ]
    }
}

Update: Since v3.1.0 you can use the following methods:

• public function fieldsForIndex(Request $request)
• public function fieldsForDetail(Request $request)
• public function fieldsForCreate(Request $request)
• public function fieldsForUpdate(Request $request)
