I am not sure if this has been answered in another post after searching so I wanted to ask it here.

MAXREST call - Object Structure - example - my-woAPI  - workorder parent - 10 fields that are read only. 

How do most people address these fields on an update from maxrest call? 

If you're building something interactive, add rsmeta=1 to the request. Editability rules are going to be dynamic and this will tell you what fields are currently readonly, required, have a method of retrieving values, etc.
