Decrease occupancy options and connected channels
Sometimes you can have necessity to decrease occupancy options for adults (example: change Adults occupancy from 3 to 2). In that case, if removed occupancy option is mapped to Channel, Channex will return Validation Error. This behaviour allow us to prevent any mistakes from client side. But, in case if you understand what you would like to do, you can trigger update operation with force
flag:
PUT /api/v1/room_types/:id?force=true
In that case, Channex will remove occupancy option and all associated mappings from Channels.
Remove Room Type

Request:
DELETE https://staging.channex.io/api/v1/room_types/:id
Example:
DELETE https://staging.channex.io/api/v1/room_types/af08bc1d-8074-476c-bdb7-cec931edaf6a
Flags
Because the system does not allow to remove room types associated with a channel, we expose an additional feature flag - force. To remove RoomType and un-map it from a channel.
Request:
DELETE https://staging.channex.io/api/v1/room_types/:id?force=true
Example:
DELETE https://staging.channex.io/api/v1/room_types/af08bc1d-8074-476c-bdb7-cec931edaf6a?force=true
Please, be careful with this method, once a room type is removed we can't restore it and any channel mapping information.
