updateing virtualmachines is not idempotent

i am using this to update vm’s vcpu, memory and storage values. even at unchanged values it shows up in changelog as 'updated". please take a look at this.

            updt_vals['vcpus']           = i['CPU_VALUE']
            updt_vals['memory']          = i['MEM_VALUE']
            updt_vals['disk']            = i['STORAGE_VALUE']
            try:
                node_obj = nb.virtualization.virtual_machines.get(name=i['NODE'])
                resultsup = node_obj.update(updt_vals)
                if resultsup is True:
                    updated_obj = node_obj.serialize()
                    logging.info('updated netbox object: "%s"' % str(updated_obj))

Make sure to set the python types to the same as the custom field types. If the CF is an integer, make sure the python variable is an integer too (and not a string) or vice versa. I found that this causes the Record._diff function to see that as a difference and update the record
