Default value in Repeater items
I am trying to make my repeater items have a default value in one of its fields that increases for each new repeater item. this is a code snippet: 
Repeater::make('shipping_infos')
    ->itemLabel(function () {
        static $position = 1;
        return $position++;
    })
    ->schema([
        TextInput::make('reference')
            ->label(__('resources.shipments.fields.reference.label'))
            ->placeholder(__('resources.shipments.fields.reference.placeholder'))
            ->unique(Shipment::class)
            ->live()
            ->default(function () {  
                static $position = 1; 
                return 65000 + Shipment::count() + $position;
            })
            ->required(),
        // etc ...
    ])
Repeater::make('shipping_infos')
    ->itemLabel(function () {
        static $position = 1;
        return $position++;
    })
    ->schema([
        TextInput::make('reference')
            ->label(__('resources.shipments.fields.reference.label'))
            ->placeholder(__('resources.shipments.fields.reference.placeholder'))
            ->unique(Shipment::class)
            ->live()
            ->default(function () {  
                static $position = 1; 
                return 65000 + Shipment::count() + $position;
            })
            ->required(),
        // etc ...
    ])
the itemLable() is working and increasing for each new item fine, but that didn't work with the default() method (I think since it is not a dynamic method?) and the reference field default value is the same between all the repeater items.
