Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In our org, stale forms tend to hang around forever. I would like to write a script to archive old forms with no recent submissions.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to patch the "archived" attribute on a Form resource, or if there's a URL like /forms/xyz/archive to post to, that's fine too.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I did manage to patch the "active" attribute on a form (which as far as I can tellllllll isn't documented, so maybe isn't officially supported? Or I'm just missing it), but that just makes the form stop accepting new submissions. What I want is to actually archive the form.

Additional context
While we're at it, adding a delete method for forms resources might be nice too, but I understand that's riskier.

Hi @joshb227, thanks for writing in! As of now, we've intentionally made the /forms endpoints read-only, but I totally get wanting to be able to write to /forms programmatically instead of having to use the UI to make changes. I'm going to add this as a feature request to our internal board, and we can reply to this thread if we make this possible in the future.

Glad you're finding some utility in the People API!
