Hello,

I’m trying to use the Forms API to set my form’s theme to “legacy” but I’m not having any luck.  
I’m using a PATCH to the URL below:  
[http://api.hubapi.com/marketing/v3/forms/{form\_id}](http://api.hubapi.com/marketing/v3/forms/%7Bform_id%7D)  
I’m receiving a 200 response, but the body does not look to be changing the theme of my form. It remains at “default\_style”.

I’ve attempted to change only the “theme” parameter, along with grouping it with other fields as follows:

`{ "displayOptions": { "renderRawHtml": true, "theme": "legacy" }}`

Does anyone have any advice on how I should be making this PATCH request to update the Form theme?

Thank you,

-Michael

Going to close this. I didn’t need to set my form to “legacy” to achieve what I needed. Instead, I could just set it to raw HTML and get the intended effect.

Hi @MCarreiro

You can use the following curl:

```lia-code-sample
curl --location --request PUT 'https://api.hubapi.com/forms/v2/forms/27499d45-13a1-4a96-a01e-5bc6e5a15aea' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
--data '{
 "name":"Enter form name here",
 "themeName":"legacy"
}'

```
