Hi GaBriella, I cannot think of nothing out-of-the-box that fully supports this request. Closest thing I can think of is a “power" user could move the instance with the property to a collection that is read-only for “normal” users once the value is first written in the editable collection.
I’d also ask why … what if the user made a mistake? Who can fix it? The closest similar customer requirement I’ve heard is, for example, not being able to edit a refernce data code that has status=Active in order to stop accidental changes/deletes. To support that we wrote a ChangeScript that just puts the old values back into place when status=Active (and both changes appear in the Change History!). That forces data stewards to change the code so status=In Development and then they can edit property values. Hope that clarifies things.
