An update plugin step with no filtering attributes

Severity Medium / LowPerformance

What it is

Update plugin step fires on every column change.

Why it matters

No filtering attributes means the step runs on every update of every column, which autosave multiplies, spending compute and feeding re-trigger loops. Microsoft's guidance calls for filters on every Update step.

Find it yourself

In the Plugin Registration Tool, check the filtering attributes on every step registered on Update. An empty list means it fires on every column change on the row, which autosave then multiplies.

How to fix it

Register filtering attributes for only the columns the step reacts to.

Not a security finding

This one is environment health, so it carries a plain label and no control mapping. Presenting an operational gap as a security finding would make the real security findings harder to trust, so we keep the two apart.
