Ability to mark a Property as read-only from the API

We create properties in HS Portals to store data that we sync as part of our product. But we cannot mark them as read-only (despite being the ones that "control" the value).

 

As a workaround, we constantly sync the values more than necessary just to ensure that no one has changed the values in the HS side.

 

This also causes customer confusion when they expect two-way syncing (changing the property in HS and expect our product to reflect that change, in reality we just write over in the next sync).

 

You can restrict access via admin UI but not API.

 

This is generally useful for HubSpot apps that manage properties.
