On the Form Screen the Submit Button is disabled till all required fields are entered, which is great:

The same happens on the Edit Screen, again great.

Thing is that I am pretty sure that most users will click on the Submit button (of the Edit Screen) even if there was no change what so ever.

![Update](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/4/74c9d7e1f98d28d8a9ac6a981c2ee7063ecbf9f0.png)

My question therefore is if an Update occurs when the User clicks on Submit without having changed anything in the Edit Form at all.

PS It would be nice if Glide could disable the Submit Button in this case e.g. no change = no Submit.

I think that’s a good suggestion.

I haven’t tried, but it would be a pretty big mistake if an update counts even when no changes are made. Can you test this and let us know if it consumes an update?

95% sure updates only count when there’s been a change to the data.
