# Pages API: slug field is now silently ignored when it can't be changed

> Update Page Metadata now returns 200 with the slug ignored — instead of 400 or 403 — for page types and locales where the slug can't be changed.

[Update Page Metadata](/data/reference/pages-and-components/pages/update-page-settings) 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 returned `400 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 a `slug` was included. They now return `200 OK` with the slug ignored.
* **Secondary locales on sites without the [Advanced or Enterprise Localization add-on](https://webflow.com/feature/localization)** previously returned `403 Forbidden` when a `slug` was included. They now return `200 OK` with 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.
