The broken behavior is observed with Bind package 9.14_4

did it work differently before?
you need to manually change the serial number every time you make any changes

I have no idea. I've just started using Bind on pfSense

I've noticed that. And that behavior in my opinion is wrong because it can all too easily result in an end user making a change and that change not being propagated to the secondary servers or replace any cached copies of data on the internet.

I have BIND version 9.16-11 package and pfSense version 2.5.2. Serial number not changing on Save zone.

It will increment if you clear/blank the "Master Zone Configuration -> Serial Number" field, then save. Which is a chore, but it works.

Ideally there should be a checkbox boolean that says "auto increment" and does just that, setting the Serial time the epoch.

I use a tampermonkey script to do this for me.
