I solved that issue in my application if you want to get old previous inserted value in input you should try this one I did like this.

function SaveData(Request $request)
{
       $sValidationRules = [
        'firstname' => 'required',
        'lastname' => 'required',
        'email' => 'required',
        'phone' => 'required',
      ];

      $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $sValidationRules);

      if ($validator->fails()) // on validator found any error 
      {
        // pass validator object in withErrors method & also withInput it should be null by default
         return redirect('Your Route Hare')->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
      }


      Employee::create($request->all());

      return redirect(' your route hare ');
}

& after then get old data in input field value like this using {{ Request::old('firstname') }} Happy Coding. :)
