  If you set the "update" permissions on the field to

  false

  and leave create & read as

  true

  then it can be set at creation and read anytime but cannot be updated after creation.

  @Kyr A bit unintuitive but works like a charm, thanks!

  It's more powerful this way as you might want to set it to allow certain roles to be able to update it (like CEO or admins) but not others.
