Make it a Computed property and only implement the Get method.

Create a computed property and you’ll see it has a Set and a Get method in it. Simply remove the code in the Set method and it’ll be read only :slight_smile:
In the Get method you write the code for what you want it to return when the property is accessed.

If your read-only property is an array use a method with no arguments returning the array as computed properties do not support arrays.

You’d have to return a copy of the array. Otherwise, changes made to the array would persist.
