Status field mystery

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have a rest API to update lead information in Marketo.
This rest api comes up with error as 'Invalid value 'Converted' for Status field. I have not created this field and I can see through admin that this field is of type String. I tried passing differnet values for this field but it always comes with an error for any value.
When I try to export the fields it does not have status field instead it has leadStatus field which I don't see from the admin, but I can update that field.
Can someone please clarify?
I saw another similar question where user noticed that this happened during recent update.
Is there any way to delete the field?

Have you checked the API integration itself? It sounds as though the tweaking might need to come from there.

Hi Harshala
 
I tried your situation with REST "Update Lead" API, and it work fine.
I do not understand what is happen.
I attach my JSON request and response sample.

Check your JSON or show me your JSON request & response.

Hi Takehiro,
Thanks for your response. Using 'leadStatus' as name works. But from admin view I see field is named as status, hence I was using status as API Name.
Anyways my issue is resolved. I found out from another discussion that there is a  legacy toggling between 'Status' and 'LeadStatus' fields in Marketo system and it is not documented.
