Controller Code

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
       'name' => 'required',
        'title' => 'required|min:15',
        'category' => 'required',
        'priority' => 'required',
        'message' => 'required|min:100',
    ]);

    $ticket = new Ticket([
        'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
        'category_id' => $request->input('category'),
        'ticket_id' => strtoupper(str_random(10)),
        'name' => $request->input('name'),
        'title' => $request->input('title'),
        'priority_id' => $request->input('priority'),

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'),
    ]);
