Same remark than Mike, James and Jacque. When you have to change the value
of each row, populating the datagrid with a new data, seems to be the
better way to go.
Now for helping you with datagrids, I think you have to understand 2
importants concepts about datagrids:

I have not been able to locate the earlier conversation on pass by
reference vice value. I did a quick test and it took 100,000 loops to be
able to get a difference that was obvious. My test was to construct simple
functions that took 1 to 3 parameters. 3 functions used all pass by value,

I was thinking the same thing. I think the critical distinction is that

directly. It's much easier to parse the original input data than to try to

Here is code that only uses LCS to accomplish the goal (only returning the
keys where they exist in both arrays but the values are different). This
is made to be similar to the way the existing functions work (with the
option to mutate).

I am a little lost here as to why this is a DG question as such.
Certainly being able to dynamically fill data within a row is a great UI
feature when the user is directly interacting with a row.
But it seems you wish to completely fill particular values in all the rows from
outside the DG.
