It is evaluated each time you request its value if you don't cache the calculation, that is by design afaik.

I could suggest you a mitigation, just have to remember in which project I did it

Ah, found it
```inline fun &lt;reified T&gt; cachedProvider(crossinline block: () -&gt; T): Provider&lt;T&gt; =
    objects
        .property&lt;T&gt;()
        .value(provider { block() })
        .apply {
            disallowChanges()
            finalizeValueOnRead()
        }```

I suppose trick is in `finalizeValueOnRead()`?

If with "trick" you mean the caching, yes.

Unfortunately `Provider` does not have that method, thus the detour over an unmodifiable (`disallowChanges()`) `Property`
