Description

If I want to return properties after creation (`helper.Data.update({})`), what do I have to do when updating?

If an update does not change the returned properties, can I just not touch `helper.Data`? Or do I need to fetch the data from somewhere else and pass it in again?

If an update does change the returned properties, but not all of them, do I only need to pass the new ones to `helper.Data.update({})`?
