Disabled select field with default not taken into account when creating record

Hi! 👋 I've just upgraded to Filament v3 and the experience is amazing so far! 😄 Only one little hiccup: one of my select fields doesn't work anymore (probably because I didn't really searched for how it works under the hood...) Here is my field definition:

Forms\Components\Select::make('team_id')
            ->label(__('Team'))
            ->relationship('team', 'name')
            ->default(Auth::user()?->currentTeam?->id)
            ->disabled()
            ->required()

Forms\Components\Select::make('team_id')
            ->label(__('Team'))
            ->relationship('team', 'name')
            ->default(Auth::user()?->currentTeam?->id)
            ->disabled()
            ->required()

It allows the user to see which team the record is going to be created under. Saving the record into the database fails because the insertion isn't provided with the team_id. It worked on v2 for some reason. Is there an "idiomatic" way to make it work? I can just force it into the insertion query of course but wanted to know if there was a "better" way. Also, if it's disabled, could the user forge a request modifying it or it's fine without a check on my end? Note: this field is in a wizard and it doesn't work without the ->relationship either.

Workaround for the moment in the Create page:

    protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        $data['team_id'] = auth()->user()?->currentTeam?->id;

        return $data;
    }

    protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        $data['team_id'] = auth()->user()?->currentTeam?->id;

        return $data;
    }

I think this is normal... in a regular HTML form, disabled fields are not included in the request. Your solution is pretty good, because the data is sensitive and shouldn't be modified by a clever user with the browser dev tools.

I would've hoped Filament would inject those but eh, fair enough. I wonder why it worked with Filament 2 though!
