Setting defaulItems count dynamically in repeater field
I have a repeater field for product SKU's, that I want to predefine the items for depending on the product type and attribute.
I have attached my ProductResource form that clarifies what I am trying to achieve.
So in the defaultItems() method I am attempting to set the number based on the input of the
In the documentation it says this:
Which makes me think that live setting of defaultItems() is not possible, since it might only be triggered when the form is loaded?
I might be mistaken, but this is the only explanation I have for the behaviour I see.
Is there another way to set the item count of a repeater field dynamically, like I set addable() and deletable()?
Or if using another approach than repeater fields would be more appropriate for my use case, then please let me know!
Thank you!

product_type_id field and the attribute_id field. But it seems like it only returns the output of the initial function run, and not upon later changes to the input fields.In the documentation it says this:

Solution
On both of the live() fields you call afterStateUpdated() and in the callback you $get the value of the other field, do your check to make sure they both have values then $set() the repeater field.
So, your afterStateUpdated callback is going to need $get, $set and $state.
So setting the repeater would just be something like
