When making a post request to [https://api.hubapi.com/forms/v2/forms/](https://api.hubapi.com/forms/v2/forms/) with the body of the call containing `deletable: false` or `editable: false`. It throws the following error:

` 403 - {"status":"error","message":"You do not have enough privileges to set editable to false on this form",`

or

` 403 - {"status":"error","message":"You do not have enough privileges to set deletable to false on this form"`

Where can we find the requirements for setting these properties?

Hello @Swydo ,

This change is just not possible at this time. Presently, there is no way to indicate in the UI that it is/isn’t deletable so if you set it to undeletable and a marketer tried to delete, they would be confused as to why it isnt deleting. Until the UI is changed, I would not expect this to be updated. If you feel strongly about it, I highly recommend adding it to the [ideas board](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/ideaslandingpage)!

Make sure to explain your use case and link back to it here so others who land on this post can easily upvote it.
