# Issue #33714 (by @mkeesey)
## Title
az kusto cluster update with --sku specified updates unrelated properties
## Body
### Describe the bug
When running `az kusto cluster update --name --subscription --resource-group --sku name="" tier="Standard"` to migrate compute skus, several unrelated properties of the cluster also were updated.
1. enableAutoStop switched from `false` to `true`
2. enableDiskEncryption switched from `true` to `false`
3. enablePurge switched from `true` to `false`
This is quite unexpected since these properties were not specified, and I do not see anything in the command docs that they are required or have default values.
### Related command
`az kusto cluster update`
### Errors
n/a
### Issue script & Debug output
n/a - appears to reproduce with any invocation that involves a sku migration.
### Expected behavior
I expect the SKU to be updated, but those unconfigured properties to retain their original values.

Hi @mkeesey,
2.87.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.88.0).
If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
### Comment by @mkeesey
Given this would be within the kusto extension, I don't think a minor version bump with the base cli would fix this.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in src/kusto/ and trace the implementation of az kusto cluster update, reproducing a SKU migration to observe how unspecified properties are sent. Check that enableAutoStop, enableDiskEncryption, and enablePurge retain their existing values while the SKU changes; completion should include coverage for this behavior if the relevant tests are found.
