This seems to be related to your other question, [How to add data in table through textfield component in Perspective?](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-add-data-in-table-through-textfield-component-in-perspective/61820), which you haven’t updated with the requested information. You’re going to run into the same problem with this approach.

1. Define your workflow.
2. Decide where the edited data is going to reside. (As explained, it’s usually in a database.)
3. Update the data in the storage.
4. Refresh the binding on the table.

Don’t just do scatter-gun approach to your project.
