feature_flags

Disable a feature flag.

Sets active to false and changes nothing else. Targeting, variants, payloads, tags and archived state are left as they are. Refused when other active flags depend on this one. An already-disabled flag is returned unchanged.

A disabled flag stops evaluating for every consumer, including a linked experiment or a session replay setting. Read the full definition first to report that impact.

statusstring required

Staleness classification: ACTIVE, STALE, ARCHIVED, DELETED or UNKNOWN. This is not the serving state. Read the active field for that. A disabled flag that is not archived or deleted reports ACTIVE, because disabled flags are not evaluated for staleness.

last_called_atstring date-time nullable required

Last time this feature flag was called (from $feature_flag_called events)

_create_in_folderstring
is_used_in_replay_settingsboolean required

Check if any team gates session recording on this flag, by linked flag or trigger group.

Whether this flag can back an experiment: multivariate with 2 to 20 variants.
