Pages API: slug field is now silently ignored when it can’t be changed
Pages API: slug field is now silently ignored when it can’t be changed
Update Page Metadata no longer returns an error when the slug field can’t be applied. The request now returns 200 OK with the slug field silently ignored — all other fields in the update apply as expected.
What changed
- Home pages, collection template (detail) pages, and utility pages (e.g.
404,password,search) previously returned400 Bad Request("Slug of index pages can't be updated","Collection Template page slugs cannot be updated", or"Utility page slugs cannot be updated") when aslugwas included. They now return200 OKwith the slug ignored. - Secondary locales on sites without the Advanced or Enterprise Localization add-on previously returned
403 Forbiddenwhen aslugwas included. They now return200 OKwith the slug ignored.
Migration notes
If your integration relied on the previous 400 or 403 responses to detect page-type or plan restrictions, switch to comparing the returned page’s slug against the value you sent — they’ll differ when the slug was ignored.
