Laravel 5 form does not redirect with old input

Question

I'm validating laravel forms and old input does not preserve after validation fail.

I'm using laravel 5.8 form request validation and html input fields are filled with default values :

public function store(ProyectoRequest $request){
    $input = $request->validated();

    DB::transaction(function () use($input) {
        $proyecto = new Proyecto();
        $proyecto->fill($input);
        $proyecto->save();
    });

    return redirect(route('proyectos.index'));
}

<div class="form-group">
     <label for="nombre">Nombre</label>
     <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" value="{{$proyecto_nombre}}" name="nombre">
</div>

When the form is validated the page reloads with the default values. I expect that input fields values are preserved. That is what I have understood from the documentation.

I am looking for the docs and there is not written if this is the normal behaviour or not.

Anyway you can do yourself with this code:

 <div class="form-group">
     <label for="nombre">Nombre</label>
     <input type="text" class="form-control input-lg" value="{{ old('proyecto_nombre', $proyecto_nombre) }}" name="nombre">
</div>

In laravel the old function retrieves input fields.
