Resolves #2689
Relates to #1333


Before the change?

  • members_can_fork_private_repositories has Default: false in the schema, causing the field to always be sent to the GitHub API even when not explicitly set by the user.
  • When an enterprise-level policy locks this setting, the API returns a 422 validation error.

After the change?

  • Removed Default: false from the schema so the field is only included in API calls when explicitly configured by the user.
  • This matches the pattern used by members_can_create_internal_repositories (enterprise-only field with no default).
  • Updated description and docs to note the enterprise policy interaction.

Users who never set this field see no behavioral change — the API default is false and the Read function still populates state from the API response.

Pull request checklist

  • Schema migrations have been created if needed
  • Tests for the changes have been added (for bug fixes / features)
  • Docs have been reviewed and added / updated if needed (for bug fixes / features)

Does this introduce a breaking change?

  • Yes
  • No

Remove Default: false from members_can_fork_private_repositories
schema to prevent the field from being sent to the API when not
explicitly set by the user. When an enterprise-level policy locks
this setting, sending any value causes a 422 validation error.

Without a default, the field is only included in API calls when
the user explicitly configures it, matching the behavior of
members_can_create_internal_repositories (enterprise-only field).
