Can't save spreadsheet if no changes were made
I am using the Zoho Sheet Remote API as part of my site.
When I open a spreadsheet and click the "Save" button without having made any changes, it does not save. While I assume that this was programmed in intentionally in order to prevent unnecessary saves, I don't think that it makes much sense in the context of the remote API. Our users sometimes want to import an already finished spreadsheet into Zoho, and then save it right to our database without making any changes. (We have students go through Zoho even if they want to upload an already finished spreadsheet, since this allows us to accept spreadsheets in different file formats, but to ensure that everything is saved to our database in the same format.) As it now stands, we have to tell our users that in order to save successfully, they will need to make a change and then undo it. This seems somewhat silly, and many users are likely to forget to do so, especially since the "Save" button is active, and they do not see any error message if they attempt to save before making a change, it's just that nothing happens.
