Disable Deleting Browser History in Google Chrome iOS?

I have tried adding the following command to the payload:

 

   <key>AllowDeletingBrowserHistory</key>
   <boolean>false</boolean>

Is there a different key for iOS? Surely it can be done. I was able to disable Incognito with very little documentation. This must be possible as well.

    That would be Saving Browser History. Which is enabled by default, and is acceptable. What I am trying to do is prevent the users from Deleting Browser History. (This is also a DISA STIG requirement). 

    I did find this Google documentation. 

    But as I mentioned above, this payload did not work:

       <key>AllowDeletingBrowserHistory</key>
   <boolean>false</boolean>

    I probably shouldn’t have posted like that, sorry for the confusion..

    You don’t see the option in what I posted as there is no option, only the managed settings that are available for iOS.

    This is confirmed in the documentation you have linked.
