Hi @john
The $new table is a repeater of “basic” fields, no additional sub components.

In my tests, the only way to delete row was:
1. delete the whole table
2. update_field(with new values)

I cannot use it becuasse repeater performance is poor.
An update of a repeater: 15 rows by 27 fields in each row > 40 seconds!
Unacceptible for my clients.

PLEASE let me know if update_field (on a repeater) will NOT remove rows.
I can calculate the diff(oldtable, newtable) and perform “micro-repeater-update-calls’
But I would like to know before that this is my only workaround.

THANKS!
