How to update only the ACTIVE field of an infoblock element?

Question

1C-Bitrix

I do this, but at the same time properties fly off

$el = new CIBlockElement;
$el->Update($ID, ['ACTIVE' => 'N'])

is there some way to update only the active field and keep the previous values?

If you do not update props, then when updating fields, they should not be overwritten. You have an OnBeforeIBlockElementUpdate handler somewhere (probably in init.php or some third-party module)
