Deleting keys in Thread metadata

[owendbar]

Is it possible to delete keys in the metadata for a thread? It seems you can only update the value of a key for the metadata via the update endpoint POST https://api.openai.com/v1/threads/{thread_id}.

It appears not. Going beyond an empty string where it remains, sending JSON null fails as one guess of how you might do it:

{
“error”: {
“message”: “Invalid type for ‘metadata.mykey’: expected a string, but got null instead.”,
“type”: “invalid_request_error”,
“param”: “metadata.modified”,
“code”: “invalid_type”
}
}

yeah I’ve tried everything. Seems odd considering the threads can persist indefinitely.
