Let me explain why it is like that with an example. Lets say you have data
[{"name": "x"}, {"name": "y"}]. When you render it in html, it becomes:
<input type="text" name="data--0--name" value="x"/>
<input type="text" name="data--1--name" value="y"/>
If you remove x and add z, it becomes:
<input type="text" name="data--1--name" value="y"/>
<input type="text" name="data--2--name" value="z"/>
After saving the form, you get data as [{"name": "y"}, {"name": "z"}].
Yes, it is kind of misleading. What you expect as index 1 becomes index 0.
May be it should be modified to return [None, {"name": "y"}, {"name": "z"}]
and provide a separate function to trim Nones.
