Edit new note type without needing a full sync
AnkiWeb addon 1988880085
Ensures editing a new, unsynchronized note type does not require a full sync, though importing the same deck on multiple computers can cause rare inconsistencies.

README
Edit new models without full sync
Rationale
Currently, anki asks you for a full sync as soon as you add a field/card type to a note. This is actually useless when the note is new and has not been synchronized, since there is no change to tell ankiweb about.
So this add-ons simply ensure that no full sync is required when a note type not synchronized is used.
I should note that this has been created as a PR in Anki, so this may eventually becomes useless.
Warnings
Potential risk if you import twice a deck
There is a rare risk, which I can't avoid, appart by telling you not to do it. Here is what you should not do:
- import the same deck in two computers.
- edit the deck in one of the computer
- sync both computer.
If it's the case, you may have bug during review (if you changed the number of fields) or you may simply find that you have incorrect card/field content.
Mystery
As ankiweb is closed source, I don't actually now entirely for sure what occurs there. I may have missed something. In the worse case, anki will tell you there is a database inconsistency and ask for a full sync.
