App health not detecting "No modifications specified" errors

It would be nice if App Health could warn about Update Object actions that does nothing, as these triggers errors on execution. This could happen as a result of logical changes where app variables are used to control logic and that logic is later removed. If you have a long list of variables, it is not easy to see if the one removed is the last one used in the update action.

Hi,

While it is not a direct answer to your problem, we are working on changing the behaviour of Update Object when there are no modifications specified.

The new behaviour will be to throw a warning instead of an exception. This means that your action will continue to run, even if no modifications are specified.

Hi,

What Erik says is true, but I have also registered this as a feature request internally too.

As of Release 113, empty update object action nodes will only throw a warning instead of an error.
