Suggestion: option to skip updating a record if only the comment is different

Open brookmiles opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I have a generated blocklist with dates in the comments, and it would be nice to import the latest version without having to update all of the existing blocks on the server just because the dates in the comments have changed.

If I could skip updating those blocks where only the comment has changed, it would be faster and not spam the audit log.

Hmm, good idea! I think. Let me muse on it a little to see if it will introduce any unusual or unexpected behaviour that might confuse people, but my first impressions are that it should be fine.

Should probably be implemented as a True/False option flag that defaults to False and preserves the existing behaviour where changes to comments are treated as significant.
