Still can't delete unedited repeating items

I saw a year-old thread for this one saying it's resolved, but I'm still seeing it. Here's two instance where I'm seeing strange behavior: Use "add" button to add new item to repeating list. Without editing any values, click "modify" and delete the new row. Expected: The row disappears. Actual: Nothing. or Use "add" button to add a new item to repeating list. Give it various values so that it's saved properly. Use "add" button to add a second item to the repeating list. Without editing any values on the second item, edit some values on the first item. Expected: First item is updated. Actual: First item is updated, and second item disappears.

This is the intended behavior. Repeating rows don't actually exist until you edit an attribute in them. For your first problem, it doesn't delete because it doesn't actually exist. For your second, it disappears because when the sheet updates your change, it realizes the empty row doesn't actually exist and and so it disappears.

Even if it's intended behavior, the first use case in particular seems like a really weird UX - if someone creates a new row by accident and changes their mind, they have to edit some random field on the new row before they can turn around and delete it. Still, I guess I'll report that back to my players as a workaround.
