Really appreciate the response and help. This is definitely saving me a lot of time and confirms my previous suspicions. It really felt like my idea was "forcing it to happen". It wasn't flowing and that is usually a good indication for me to hesitate and re-think the approach or look for guidance as I did in this case.
"I'm really not sure the Editor framework is the best fit here" This is the second time I think I see that statement, specifically related to CellTable and Editors. I know this might be kind of a hard question to answer, but here it goes. When should the Editor framework be considered a good fit? In other words, what criteria can be used or what do you recommend to more or less have an idea that the Editor framework might be a good fit? Thanks again for the help.
