Permissions: how to set (leave untouched) default value of field

Hi - I want a Publisher Role to be able to edit everything of given record, but not the title field (and the slug field too - those 2 which are standard opening in a Modal for editing). In my Controller: 
protected $fieldsPermissions = [
        'title' => 'manage_settings',
    ];
protected $fieldsPermissions = [
        'title' => 'manage_settings',
    ];
results that the Admin is able to save the record, a Publisher not. Even if the Publisher is only editing the description field, which is intended to do so. Basically I want to leave the title field untouched on save - or a complete different approach to handle that ? - support appreciated! Emil

sometimes I cannot find the one tree in the wood - just figured out that I have set a required validation rule on the FormRequest Class. So, ending up with this solution makes the thing working: 
public function rulesForUpdate()
    {
        $titleRules = [
            Rule::unique('pages', 'title')->ignore($this->route('category')),
            Rule::unique('categories', 'title')->ignore($this->route('category')),
        ];

        if (auth()->user()->can('manage_settings')) {
            $titleRules[] = 'required';
        }

        return [
            'title' => $titleRules,
            'intro' => 'nullable|max:1200',
        ];
    }
public function rulesForUpdate()
    {
        $titleRules = [
            Rule::unique('pages', 'title')->ignore($this->route('category')),
            Rule::unique('categories', 'title')->ignore($this->route('category')),
        ];

        if (auth()->user()->can('manage_settings')) {
            $titleRules[] = 'required';
        }

        return [
            'title' => $titleRules,
            'intro' => 'nullable|max:1200',
        ];
    }
