Does Firestore write in database if the value is the same as the current one?

Actions & Logic

Hello,

I can't figure out what happens when I have an action that update document in Firestore when the existing field has the same value as the one I am trying to update.

Basically, I would like to know if I should first query the collection, get the value and only update if the new value is different. Or if Firestore is "smart" enough not to write in the DB when the value is the same.

Thanks!

What have you tried so far?

Updating directly the DB without checking existing value.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?

Yes
