I am trying to: Save a relationship checkbox, works fine when I check it then save. But it doesn't work when I uncheck then save.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: It's the same issue as this https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cannot-save-unchecked-checkbox-field-when-editing-relationship/ but I don't think this was resolved at all

I expected to see: It doesn't save when the box is unchecked.

Instead, I got: it only says "The related content has not been updated, as no fields were modified."

Thanks for the details, I can duplicate the same problem, and have escalated this issue, will update here if there is anything news.

Currently, you can try these:
1) Edit the many-to-many relationship
hidden link
enable option "Intermediary Post Type visible in WordPress admin menu"

2) Dashboard-> BizListings x Cities Intermediary Posts, find and edit those specific post directly, here you can unset the custom check box field
