Hi @zkirby :wave:

The edit_flag field is set to false for all default fields of Activities (for example, Subject). In case of default fields, it is not possible to change their name and field_type properties via API or via web app.

With default fields, what you can edit, is the values of the field (e.g, the key).

We also have an article in our Knowledge Base about data fields in Pipedrive.

Let us know if you have further questions! :slight_smile:

Hi, @Helena_Sul!

You wrote

With default fields, what you can edit, is the values of the field.

But there are fields with values that cannot be edited, right? For example, id, creator_user_id, add_time and many other fields.
Is there a way to get list of editable fields of an object? Or is there a rule by which object fields can be filtered?
