Thanks for all the help I figured it I had two mistakes in the controller this took me 2 days to figure it out LOL
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required', // I removed this
'title' => 'required|min:15',
'category' => 'required',
'priority' => 'required',
'message' => 'required|min:100',
]);
and in the $ticket
$ticket = new Ticket([
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
'category_id' => $request->input('category'),
'ticket_id' => strtoupper(str_random(10)),
'name' => $request->input('name') // I replaced this with 'name' => Auth::user()->name,
'title' => $request->input('title'),
'priority_id' => $request->input('priority'),
'message' => $request->input('message'),
]);
