Laravel Nova: Generate Model-Values without field

Question

Is there an option to generate Model-Values by not having a form input at the nova backend?

For example after every store / update I would like to update the created_by value with the current authenticated user.

Exampl:e

$model->created_by = aut()->user()->id

In your model, you can add a boot() method which will allow you to manage saving event

Available events are creating, created, updating, updated, saving, saved, deleting, deleted, restoring, restored

public static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    self::saving(function($model){
        $model->created_by = auth()->user()->id;
    });
}

In that way every time you create/update model created_by attribute will be updated..
