return full parse object from Parse.Object.save()

Question

I'm finding myself having to write custom PUT routes for objects in my parse-server backend when the client needs to get the full json in the response, not just the updated properties that are returned by the Parse REST API PUT methods. I can achieve this in the example below, but I'd like to do it without having to have the additional .fetch() after the save. Without it, the save only returns the object with the properties that were updated. Is there any way to include the whole objects in the .save() response? I know it's available in the before/afterSave hooks.

function(request, response) {
  habit = Habit.createWithoutData(request.params.habitId);
  return habit.save(request.body, { sessionToken: user.getSessionToken() }).then(function(habit) {
    return habit.fetch();
  }).then(function() {
    response.status(200);
    response.json(habit._toFullJSON());
  }, function(error) {
    response.status(422);
    response.json(error);
});

};

There's no need to return the saved object, because the caller has it already (by definition, it's what was just saved). The only thing new is createdAt and id, which can be found in the result.

In the OP, the saved object is request.body.
