Is there a way to make a date Field Locked or Read Only based on a Dropdown Field within the same module? I found a way to make it visible conditionally, but would rather have to locked/read only.

The option to make a field read-only (or conditionally read only as you are seeking) is tricky to find. Go to the date field in Studio, and uncheck the 'Mass Update' option:
Unchecking 'Mass Update' will expose the 'Read Only' checkbox. Select that checkbox to get an option to set a formula to make the field conditionally read-only:
From there, you can click the 'Edit Formula' button and add your conditional formula. Even if you only want to lock the field based on a single dropdown value, I recommend using the following formula format:
isInList(
$dropdown_field_name,
createList(
"Value 1",
"Value 2",
"Value 3"
)
)
This formula gives easy flexibility to add or remove options for which you want to make the field read only in the future.
