Implementing Authorization for Creating Options

How to Apply Authorization on Create Option Action for Select Field
When using createOptionForm for a select menu, you can customize the add action (+). One important thing is to add authorization to that action, for example, from a policy.
This will hide the add button next to the select menu when the user is not authorized to create, and the same goes for the edit action.

4 ->createOptionForm(...)
5 ->createOptionAction(
6 fn(Action $action) => $action->hidden(
7 auth()->user()->cannot(
