wow, that was super-quick! :)
I didnt test option "all", while we don't use it. We always save per-partition:

# session has been already switched to partition DEV:
    - name: save_config
      delegate_to: localhost
      netscaler.adc.save_config:
        nsip: "{{ provider.nsip }}"
        nitro_auth_token: "{{ provider.nitro_auth_token | default(omit) }}"
        nitro_protocol: "{{ provider.nitro_protocol | default(omit) }}"
        validate_certs: "{{ provider.validate_certs | default(omit) }}"

The test passed - Ansible returned success:

DEBUG: save_config nsconfig SUCCESS

On device I can see it did modify only expected config file:

# find /nsconfig/* -name ns.conf -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  36235 Dec 14 15:38 /nsconfig/ns.conf
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  132863 Dec 15 15:27 /nsconfig/partitions/PROD/ns.conf
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  34943 Dec 21 11:11 /nsconfig/partitions/DEV/ns.conf   # <<<<< DEV config modified only

Attaching the log:
save_config_test-1.log
These are msgs there that I guess should not appear, so maybe there is something else in backgroud that needs to be tweaked:

        "TRACE: EXIT: send() returned (400, {'errorcode': 1232, 'message': 'Invalid object name [save_config]', 'severity': 'ERROR'})",
        "TRACE: EXIT: get() returned (400, {'errorcode': 1232, 'message': 'Invalid object name [save_config]', 'severity': 'ERROR'})",

@pkodzis, is it not the expected behaviour that save_config to a particular partition should only change the respective partition's ns.conf?

I added a small fix to skip the GET call for save_config for the above mentioned error

Am I missing something?

To answer your question - yes, it behaves as expected from my perspecitve.

Regarding the fix to skip the GET call for save_config, unable to test while after "ansible-galaxy collection install netscaler.adc --force" I'm not getting fixed version - it installs the code version that gives reported "Invalid object name [save_config]"

[sumanth-lingappa]

The recent fix (to skip the GET call for save_config) is not released yet to ansible-galaxy or ansible-authmation-hub.

You need to install it from the github itself

ansible-galaxy collection install "git+https://github.com/netscaler/ansible-collection-netscaleradc.git" --force

Refer: https://github.com/netscaler/ansible-collection-netscaleradc/blob/main/README.md#via-github-to-have-the-latest-updated-which-are-yet-to-be-released-in-ansible-galaxy
