Ok so I think your problem is that you want to set default value for <input type="file"> which is not possible. for security reasons you can't set default value for <input type="file"> so in your case you can check if there is a new image file you put the new one otherwise you just reassign previous slider image here is an example:
$slider = Sliders::findOrFail($id);
if (! empty($request->file('select_image'))) {
$content->slider_image = $image->getFilename().'.'.$extension;;
} else {
$content->slider_image = $slider->slider_image;
}
So as you can see first we check if there is a new file if so we assign new one otherwise we use the old one.
