Modifying User Table Fields

[hyphen81]

I tried to modify fields on my user table as I'm trying to convert an existing app over to Filament. However, it doesn't seem like you can modify the user table fields as I'm now getting an error Filament\FilamentManager::getUserName(): Return value must be of type string, null returned.

Upon inspecting the FilemantManager file, I'm seeing this method:

public function getUserName(Model | Authenticatable $user): string
    {
        if ($user instanceof HasName) {
            return $user->getFilamentName();
        }

        return $user->getAttributeValue('name');
    }

This seems like "name" is hard-coded and can't be modified without changing the source files, or overriding/extending the FilamentManager file. Is that what I'm supposed to do? I can't imagine I'm the only person who's wanted to change the fields on the users table. Please help me understand how I can get the desired functionality without modifying the source files.

Just found this in another question:

https://filamentphp.com/docs/2.x/admin/users#configuring-the-name-attribute

Don’t see this referenced in the v3 docs.
