KV Store - audit trail?

We're writing an app that allows users to input some asset lookup data into a KV Store. Occasionally these KV Store records need to be modified or deleted. We're thinking of adding a status field (Active, Inactive, Deleted) and always creating a new KV Store record when these things occur.

Any examples around of doing something like this with a KV Store? Is there a way to allow users to modify a custom status field but not modify any other part of the record and not delete a record?

Know of a better way to do this?

Have you tried this: Use the REST API to manage KV Store collections and data:

No there isn’t. Kvstore is a lookup table not a database. You can either read only or modify.

I think it actually is a DB under the covers (Mongo).
