Hi all,

I have 2 languages set up, English (default) and Chinese.

I have a service which processes a daily feed and creates/updates node data accordingly via the ContentService.

I am only interested in updating/publishing the English version through the Content Service. Most properties are invariant but there are some variant properties.

I'm creating a new node for the default culture, like below, or getting the existing node if it already exists:

node = new Content("name", parentId, contentType, "en-US");

I am setting my invariant properties like so:

node.SetValue("propertyAlias", "propertyValue");

I am defining the culture on my variant properties like so:

node.SetValue("propertyAlias", "propertyValue", "en-US");

Because the service runs daily, I only want to save/publish a node if it is dirty for performance.

If I do node.IsDirty();, it's always true, even when no properties have changed, and CultureInfos is always the only dirty property. Inspecting node.CultureInfos it just returns an array ["Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentCultureInfos"] which doesn't feel correct. Even using node.IsCultureEdited("en-US"); also always returns true.

I don't know how to get around this IsDirty() always being true. Am I setting my values wrong for invariant cultures, or missing something?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
