How to add a custom static method?

[blueridgemountains1]

I migrated from the dto package to the laravel-data package.

I want a custom static method

<?php

class PostmarkResponse extends Data
{

    public function __construct(
        public string $email,
        public string $status,
        public ?string $message = null,
        public ?string $stream = null,
    ) {
    }

    public static function fromSingleResponse(array $response): static
    {
        return static::from([
            'email' => $response['EmailAddress'],
            'status' => $response['Status'],
            'message' => $response['Message'] ?? null,
            'stream' => $response['Stream'] ?? null,
        ]);
    }

}

However, I cannot call PostmarkResponse::fromSingleResponse because I get the error TypeError: Spatie\LaravelData\Resolvers\DataFromSomethingResolver::createFromCustomCreationMethod(): Return value must be of type ?Spatie\LaravelData\Contracts\BaseData, Illuminate\Support\Collection returned

How can I create a custom static method without the createFromCustomCreationMethod method firing?

Not entirely sure how a collection is returned?

As for not automatically calling methods, we only do this with static methods starting with from. So, creating a method called createFromSomething() should work.
