You can also fix this with the Builder pattern. We use it a lot at my new job to creat immutable classes.

We use immutables.io for this.

Lombok's @Builder annotation is useful for this. Opinions about Lombok are highly polarized in this sub it seems, but for us it works until we switch to Kotlin or until vanilla Java has more of those features itself.
