A set request results in error : no changes between

In some cases the provided information within a SET request are not considered as a difference, even though the information provided is indeed a change or new.

Description

When requesting to set the given IETF JSON provided below for the path interfaces/interface[name=Ethernet1] on an Arista cEOS results in an error: There are no changes between [...] and [...].

Comparing the two values from the change, in fact result in no difference to be detected. Even though the JSON is valid and should add a new IP address.

{
  "openconfig-interfaces:config": {
    "mtu": 0,
    "name": "Ethernet1",
    "type": "iana-if-type:ethernetCsmacd"
  },
  "openconfig-interfaces:name": "Ethernet1",
  "openconfig-interfaces:subinterfaces": {
    "subinterface": [
      {
        "index": 0,
        "openconfig-if-ip:ipv4": {
          "addresses": {
            "address": [
              {
                "config": {
                  "ip": "10.10.10.0",
                  "prefix-length": 31
                },
                "ip": "10.10.10.0"
              }
            ]
          },
          "config": {
            "enabled": true
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Expected Behavior

The information from the JSON should add a new IP address for the interface Ethernet1 and should therefore be traceable within a change. And it should then be possible to push them to the given network element.

Actual Behavior

No changes are detected and nothing is pushed to the device.
