Feature: Ability to edit primary key

[richstandbrook]

I have a model that has a unique string as the primary key. I'd like to be able to edit it in Nova, but it seems Nova just hides the primary key from the form with no override I can find.

I first thought you could override the query with editQuery() the same way as indexQuery(), but the former doesn't exist.

Try exploring global scopes on the main Laravel model to select id as custom_id, then use that.

Just use a Text field?

[richstandbrook]

@davidhemphill I add Text::make('ID'), and it shows on the list view and the details view but it's still left off the form view, so I can't edit it.

More importantly, not sure of use cases where the primary key is editable but there are cases where I need to be able to define the primary key when creating an element. At this time, the primary key field is not shown on the create form.

@davidhemphill Can this issue be re-opened? @fbingha described exactly the situation I'm in as well. The Text field does not work.

[davidhemphill]

Ok, you're right it doesn't show. I've added this though and it will be available in the next release. 👍

I've created a custom text field, so you can edit your ID fields or link a title field on the index screen.
