How to deactive a property for updating but not for creating in OpenXava?

Question

I have a property called date where the user should be able to enter value when creating a new entity:

However, on editing an existing entity the date property should be not editable, in this way:

Is there an easy way to declare a property editable only on creating in an OpenXava entity?

Answer 1

Yes, just annotate your property with @ReadOnly(onCreate=false):

@ReadOnly(onCreate=false)
LocalDate date;

You don't need any extra code.
