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](https://community.appfarm.io/t/release-notes-113/1633), empty update object action nodes will only throw a warning instead of an error.
