Aha, I knew you were on the forums somewhere! Really like the work.  
Colors - when I click Add I see a flash of orange, then all goes back to default colors.  
Row are added and deleted as expected.

  
This vid shows the add feature, but with new data.

After clicking Delete:

Ok, column style is not updating.

This is the Delete code:

```python
table = self.getSibling("Table_0")
	columns = table.props.columns
	selectedRow = table.props.selection.selectedRow
	data = table.props.data
	
	if selectedRow is None:
		pass
	elif data[selectedRow]['ReqID']['value'] is None:
		del table.props.data[selectedRow]
	else:
		table.props.data[selectedRow]['deleteMe'] = True
		
		for col in columns:
			colName = col.field
			table.props.data[selectedRow][colName]["style"]["background-color"] = "var(--error)"

```
