SchemaField with increasable max?

I'm trying to understand the new schema fields and have a situation where I sometimes want to increase the "max" value of a field. Is that possible? I have this

schema.carryLoad = new fields.SchemaField({
      value: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0,
      }),
      min: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0
      }),
      max: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0,
      })
    });

schema.carryLoad = new fields.SchemaField({
      value: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0,
      }),
      min: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0
      }),
      max: new fields.NumberField({
        ...requiredInteger,
        initial: 0,
      })
    });

but it seems I cannot increase the max value via carryLoad.max += 10 for example

That is because to change a property of a document, you need to perform an actual update that gets persisted to the database.

await actor.update({"system.carryLoad.max": actor.system.carryLoad.max + 10});

await actor.update({"system.carryLoad.max": actor.system.carryLoad.max + 10});
