Description Christopher Brannon 2020-09-02 14:56:52 UTC
I think there should be an preference to not be able to submit a request unless information has been changed.

We frequently get modification requests with no changes made at all.

I see two angles on this--perhaps both?

1. We check for changes to the form and ask the user if they really mean to submit a form without having made changes.

2. We silently reject submissions with no changes. Somehow this seems nicer than telling the user they can't submit the form.

What about a modal, summarizing the changes?  If there are no changes, it says "No changes have been made."

Thoughts?
