Should I always save ContentEntityType after updating a value? I have bunch of ContentEntityTypes made programatically.
What weirds me out is ::save() method of ContentEntityType.

In the documentation about ::save() method is information that reads:


  When saving existing entities, the entity is assumed to be complete, partial updates of entities are not supported


For example, if I update some value with

&lt;?php $contentEntityType-&gt;set('field', $value); ?&gt;


Is it partial update? Do I need to do &lt;?php $contentEntityType-&gt;save(); ?&gt;?
I think what it means is, that you shouldn't save changes that you don't want to keep.

Since you want to keep the change you are making, you have to save the entity.

The changes to make on they entity are only saved to the database when you call $entity-&gt;save().
