How to not update if there is no change in previous record

[Akki1]

Hi,

I'm running a scheduled job which truggers  scripted rest api which gets data from 3rd party and create/updates in servicnow custom table. Now I want the records to only update when there is a change in any field value else remain same i.e the updated timestamp should not be updated

Please share more information than the above. What's the script? What is updated? Why is the 'updated' field updated when there isn't an update?

Without anything more than the information you provided, it is impossible to give you a clear solution to the issue.
