Conditionally add and update relations

Currently I got this situation. A user can have only 1 shipping address and only 1 billing address. In Filament's admin panel's user form, admin can change user's info. However I want to set restrictions, so that admin cant give a user >1 address of type shipping, and cant give a user >1 address of type billing. That also implies that when the user already got 1 billing address, the admin can't change that user's shipping address to type=billing. How can something like that be done?
Solution:
Create a policy according to the laravel docs then handle the conditions in each method based on your apps authorization. Filament defaults to Laravel’s policies to handle model authorization. https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/authorization#creating-policies

In most cases you can pass Closures or Callables to filament methods.

Here:
class UserResource extends Resource
{
protected static ?string $model = User::class;

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
return $form
->schema([
Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
// ...
]),
Forms\Components\Section::make()->schema([
Forms\Components\Repeater::make('addresses')
->relationship()
->schema([
// Todo: can only chose 1 of type shipping and 1 of type billing <<--------*********
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email'),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('address_line_1'),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('city'),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('zip_code'),
Forms\Components\TextInput::make('state'),
])
->addable(false) // Todo: Can only add 1 shipping and 1 billing <<--------*********
->itemLabel(fn (array $state) => $state['type'])
])
]);
}
class UserResource extends Resource

])
->addable(false) // Todo: Can only add 1 shipping and 1 billing <<--------*********
->itemLabel(fn (array $state) => $state['type'])
])
]);
}

This would normally be handled by a laravel policy. Filament is still just laravel under the hood.

Actually, policy is only half the answer. Normally, you create a policy, then you apply it in controller method, like $this->authorize('action', $modelInstance); But Filament have its own controllers. It doesnt go thru any of the controllers that I wrote. Hence in this situation, how can policy (or any type of pre-saving checks) be done upon the click of the add/delete/edit buttons?

You can add ->authorize() in your action component. In this case, you are using Repeater you can customize addAction by follow with https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/repeater ->addAction(fn($action)=> $action->authorize(...
