<p>After upgrading from beta2 to beta3 and running <code>drush updb</code> and <code>drush cex</code> and then diffing the changes, while most of the diffs were expected (removing the <code>datalayer</code> module dependency and associated <code>third_party_settings</code>), a couple stood out as "where did this come from?", to wit:</p>

<p>After some narrowing down of other potential variables, I figured out that if I edited <code>datalayer_update_8001()</code> to add an <code>if (!empty($settings))</code> wrapping the <code>foreach ($settings ...)</code> and <code>$field->save()</code> parts, these 2 diffs wouldn't get exported; inversely, only those 2 get exported if I wrapped it in <code>if (empty($settings))</code> (I reset git and the DB each time, to be sure).</p>
<p>I have no idea why those 2 <code>field.field.*</code> ymls (out of 100+ more that also never make mention of <code>datalayer</code>) are affected by this. Nor why <code>save()</code> is making those diffs and not some additional ones. Because when I tested going to their respective UI pages and just hitting "Save" and running <code>drush cex</code> (to check if it was just a matter of the .yml being a bit behind database), it exports <em>yet further</em> diffs, but whether I do that before or after running 8001, none of those diffs seem related to datalayer.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Maybe wrap the code following the <code>$settings</code> definition in <code>if (!empty($settings))</code> as mentioned above (so anybody who hasn't yet updated won't share my confusion).</p>
<p>Or maybe this is less bug-report and more support-request, and I either need (a) reassurance that I can safely discard those two diffs or (b) informing that, no, those diffs are somehow relevant and I should definitely be committing them along w/ the others resulting from 8001. Thanks. <em>(ETA: I may need to commit them anyway, because short of creating a patch, <code>drush deploy</code> will make the DB change anyway, and subsequent <code>cim</code>s may refuse to stick.)</em></p>
