Can I create a Space using Confluence Cloud API with Live-Editing turned OFF

Hello! I’ve developed an app that uses the Confluence Cloud API to generate project documentation automatically. It creates a new Space for each project and fills it with pages of documentation. This has worked fine for months, but recently the new ‘Live Editing’ feature is causing major headaches. I don’t want documentation pages to be live-editable, plus the page margins become larger and it messes up the formatting.

I realise that this Live Editing option is turned ON by default and can only be turned off as a space feature setting. The problem is that my app creates a space and populates it with new pages through automated API calls. How can I create a space through the API and have it default to Live Editing turned OFF?

I have a horrible feeling that this isn’t possible, but really hoping that somebody can shed some light on it for me please? Many thanks…
