Guess it would be easier to just make it open and make the setter private...

Why not simply val myField so you have public access without setter?

One issue is I am using it for calculations in the init block which idea hints at the need for it to be final (private)

only reason I'm really looking at a getter is so that I can test whether it is injected or not.

Maybe I should just scratch that test :slightly_smiling_face:

I don't understand why it should be private or why such warning appears if you use it in init block

```@Service
class Demo(@Value("\${a.b}") private val a: String) {

private val b: String

init {
  b = someCalculation(a)
}```
Conceptually something like this.  In my case `a` is a cryptographic key, so ideally I don't even want the getter to exist for testing.

I don't get any warning if I remove private for val a in constructor

yeah I'm assuming you using kotlin-allopen plugin so class Demo is actually open class Demo, making it final class Demo makes warning disappear (but may break Spring stuff of course)
