Can a sync layout be "blank" on the device

[sfpx]

I noticed that writing data is a bit faster when the layout has nothing on it. No object or field.

Can we remove the fields from the sync layout on the device (iphone, ipad)? (I understand that the fields must be on the sync layouts on the server)

 

Just a crazy idea  I had this morning

I think that would work... you'll need to put them back every time you want to edit the configuration though.

I actually would remove the fields on the sync layouts only on the device version of the database .

Should take 5-10 minutes of additional work each time I prepare a new offline version.

I will test some initial syncs it to see if it's worth the hassle.
