Originally created by @neufeind on GitHub (Feb 19, 2020).

(I already mentioned it in #2511 but now see it was a bit out of scope for that other issue. So here is a separate feature-request.)

Maybe it would be possible to only create a changelog-entry (or save something at all) if settings changed. We had the case where a script updated various entries using the PATCH-method using the API and writing values to existing entries. But it didn't first download the current values and check if there was a difference. Maybe Netbox could detect that the diff was actually empty (all values already current) and then simply not creating a diff / an entry in the changelog.
