I was trying to enter text in another window but unintentionally the input was sent to the web interface of the firewall, where I has an interface config open. When I noticed this, the UI had a button on top to apply the changes. I could not identify any change, so eventually I just pressed apply and checked the version history:

The only substantial change is the bridged flag. Does anyone know what this is referring to?
Doesn't look like anything changed. You hit the apply button which triggered an "empty change".
OPNsense config compare will always tell you what exactly changed, in this case only config timestamp.
