How to make a field non-editable after a specific date

Question

In our JIRA stories, we have a custom field, related to when a story is going into production.

Is there a way to make that particular field non-editable after a certain date, so that nobody can modify that field?

This will help us ensure that no JIRA stories are added to or removed from scope.
