rename attribute item array in request validation laravel

Question

I am working with the laravel validations in form request and this time I need to validate a data array something like this:

public function rules()
{
    $rules = [
       'products.*.quantity' => 'required|integer',
       'products.*.dimension' => 'required|min:5|max:16',
       'products.*.description' => 'required|min:5',
    ];

    return $rules;
}

where products is the array where I have each of the items, this works however it gives me a message more or less like this: The products.1.quantity field is required. I need to change the name of the attribute, I know it is possible to change the name inside the messages method giving a new value to products.*. quantity for example products.*. quantity => "quantity", however I would also like to specify the key of the item that is failing and at the end have a message like this:

The quantity in item 1 field is required. then is it possible to achieve this?

Search for this file resources/lang/xx/validation.php and modify custom entry with your custom messages

'custom' => [
    'products.*.quantity' => [
        'required' => 'Your custom message',
    ]
]

That doesn't answer the question that he posted, he wants to include the $index to the message which is returned. Your solution leaves that out, the link provided by Don't Panic, seems to be a better solution as it does handle that issue.
