# How to remove the Abstract Registration Deadline

When filling out the venue request form, some PCs include an Abstract Registration Deadline in their request. After the venue is deployed, they want to remove this deadline due to a change in their workflow. Unfortunately, removing this deadline is not as simple as deleting the date from the form.

To remove the deadline:

1. [Instantiate an API 1 client](/getting-started/using-the-api/installing-and-instantiating-the-python-client.md).
2. Get the id of your request form, this is located in the URL.

3. Run the code below.&#x20;

```python
request_form_id = ''

references = client.get_all_references(referent=request_form_id)
for ref in references:
    if 'abstract_registration_deadline' in ref.content:
        print("deadline removed from: ",ref.id)
        del ref.content['abstract_registration_deadline']
        client.post_note(ref)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openreview.net/how-to-guides/workflow/how-to-remove-the-abstract-registration-deadline.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
