Is there a way to reuse image from request?

[secretwebmaster]

For example, when doing a bulk update of models, we can create a simple form in blade and send the data to controller.

For simple text field, we can use:

foreach($models as $model){
$model->update([
  'column_name' => $request->column_name
])
}

But for image field, if we do it in similar way, only first model will be updated because the request->image field will be deleted after the first addMediaFromRequest.

Here is my current workarround. Add the media to first model and use preservingOriginal() to add to the rest. Is there any way like preservingRequest()? Then I could simply foreach all models and addMediaFromRequest(). Thank you.

foreach (['slot_default_desktop_image', 'slot_default_mobile_image'] as $field) {
            if (!empty($request->{$field})) {

                $media = $slots->first()->addMediaFromRequest($field)
                    ->usingFileName($field . '-' . time() . '.' . $request->{$field}->getClientOriginalExtension())
                    ->preservingOriginal()
                    ->toMediaCollection($field);
        
                $slots->skip(1)->each(function ($slot) use ($media, $field) {
                    $slot->addMedia($media->getPath())->preservingOriginal()->toMediaCollection($field);
                });
            }
}
