Comment (by johnstonphilip):

 @TimothyBlynJacobs Thanks for the message! Unfortunately I am still stuck
 on this part:

   I looked at doing a comparison check prior to saving for the saved value
 vs the new value, but because the saved value is always a string when
 coming from the database, you can't do strict checking, which could be
 problematic. So I am not sure what the fix needs to be here.
