Hello Elyahou, I have the exact same issue at this moment in my project, I see you have posted this 8 months ago. although no one answered to you, you should already solved the problem.

Can you please let me know how you did it?

Thanks for your time and help.

Regards,

Hi Elyahou,

I'm not sure if I understand 100% correctly, but perhaps it helps if you put in

{{  Form::text("name", Input::old('name'), array('class' => 'form-control'))  }}

instead of using null as the value?

Or instead of your own html form, you use Form Model Binding?

{{ Form::model(...) }}

see http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/html#form-model-binding

(though be careful, I heard Form stuff is not in the core of Laravel 5)

I hope this helps.

Oliver
