3741583 - PPX: deleting an attachment in background elements shows 'no changes to save' and changes are not saved

In the latest people profile (PPX), deleting an attachment from a background element record and clicking Save prevents saving and shows the message "No changes to save."

The same operation works correctly in the legacy people profile (PP3); Changes are saved successfully.
