Lockout this that cannot be webhooked

When you add or delete a card, or if you add or delete a swimlane you get a webhook payload regardless of how the integration was registered. If you use universal webhooks (not the one assigned by a board specific integration) you probably get a webhook showing you created a board. Either way you do get a board deletion webhook if you built that board through the api and added an integration.

But for some reason there are NO webhooks for any changes you make. If you rename a card or rename a swimlane or rename a board, you get silence. I tried tracking and watching options and still nothing. LMK if I am doing this wrong, please.

So if I cannot track the user making changes I would need instead to prevent the user from making changes I cannot track through a web hook.

I have run into this issue editing (PUT) through the api. There are not editing functions through the api to rename some things or coloring things. Simple solution was just to change things in Mongodb to rename a board or a swimlane or card or add or change a color in a swimlane.

But the reverse is not as easy. Unless I capture changes to mongo as events there is no easy solution to not getting a webhook back on a user change of something simple. If you add card NP. if you edit a card no go.

So to lockout changes...... are there methods to do that? I see many true/false values that are in the database (no that you can always edit them through the api), but if you change mongo values you can change what the user is permitted to do in the GUI with the boards?

allowsSubtasks": true, "allowsAttachments": true, "allowsChecklists": true, "allowsComments": true, "allowsDescriptionTitle": true, "allowsDescriptionText": true, "allowsActivities": true, "allowsLabels": true, "allowsAssignee": true, "allowsMembers": true, "allowsRequestedBy": true, "allowsAssignedBy": true, "allowsReceivedDate": true, "allowsStartDate": true, "allowsEndDate": true, "allowsDueDate": true,

Can I, and if so, what do I change to prevent users from renaming things that do not give you webhooks?

Thanks
