Java specify custom properties on Fields/Methods

I have a huge class with 500 members. Each member will have properties whether it can be Filled/Edited based on business logic .

public class Person{
public String firstName; 
//500 more Fields below
}

And similarly other 500 fields .

Consumer of the class will need whether the firstName can be Filled/Edited .

Straight forward way is

Enum FieldProperty{
CanBeEdited,CanBeFilled
}
public class Person{
public String firstName; 
List<FieldProperty> firstNameProperties = list(CanBeFilled)
//500 more Fields below
}

How to efficiently represent this ?

I am settling with below approach .

public class UiProperties<T>{
  Boolean CanBeEdited;
  Boolean CanBeFilled;
  Boolean CanBeDeleted;
}
public class Person{
public UiProperties<String> firstName; 
public UiProperties<String> lastName; 
public UiProperties<Date> dob; 
//500 more Fields below
}
