$request->resourceId is null on action fields

• Laravel Version: 9.43.0
• Nova Version: 4.19.4
• PHP Version: 8.1.13
• Database Driver & Version: Sail mysql
• Operating System and Version: Sail

Description:

When you try to use $request->resourceId from an action fields, you get null when action is fired.
(on debuging, I get the resourceId on index or detail loading, but null when action is launched)

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

artisan nova:action CreateApiToken

public function fields(NovaRequest $request)
{
    ray($request->resourceId);
    ray()->showQueries();
    return [
        Text::make('Name')
            ->rules([
                'required',
                Rule::unique('personal_access_tokens', 'name')
                    ->where('tokenable_id', $request->resourceId),
            ])
    ];
}

My rule query was:

select
  count(*) as aggregate
from
  `personal_access_tokens`
where
  `name` = 'test'
  and `tokenable_id` is null // should be an ID not null

The best way to access Resource IDs is via $request->resources and the value will be based on context:

• Select all matching
  • $request->resources will return "all"
  • $request->allResourcesSelected() return true
  • $request->selectedResourceIds() return null
  • $request->selectedResources() return null
• Multiple resources selected:
  • $request->resources will return [1, 2, 3, ...n]
  • $request->allResourcesSelected() return false
  • $request->selectedResourceIds() return [1, 2, 3, ..n]
  • $request->selectedResources() return Illuminate\Support\Collection<\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model>
• Single resource selected:
  • $request->resources will return [1]
  • $request->allResourcesSelected() return false
  • $request->selectedResourceIds() return [1]
  • $request->selectedResources() return Illuminate\Support\Collection<\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model>
