Active Categories
Inactive categories are a historical feature of Daylite. Categories could be set as inactive by users so that they would not be available to set on new or changing objects.
Unless otherwise specified, the API ignores the is_active flag. If an inactive category is assigned to a new or changing object then the category will become active.
