Posting limited fields with ExtJS 4.2.x REST on store update

We are trying to use ExtJS grid/forms and bind them with Store to perform REST operations. Now as I was playing with extjs examples for restful api, I came across http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#!/example/restful/restful.html and tried editing a model to add a new field 'phone' in the list like below:

Ext.define('Person', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [{
        name: 'id',
        type: 'int',
        useNull: true
    }, 'email', 'first', 'last','phone'],
    validations: [{
        type: 'length',
        field: 'email',
        min: 1
    }, {
        type: 'length',
        field: 'first',
        min: 1
    }, {
        type: 'length',
        field: 'last',
        min: 1
    }]
});

As you can see "phone" is a new field added in fields list of a model and after adding that field while I was trying to perform any of the rest operation (PUT/POST) it was posting that field along with rest of the visible fields in grid. This is something I have not expected.

Is there anyway by which I can just post dirty fields (which are modified) and not all those exist in model with default store/rest manipulation way that ExtJS has provided?

In the proxy writer definition you would want to use the writeAllFields param which will work for updates. New model instances will send all fields.
