Data_editor - the ability to add and not delete

[bruestle]

No error - this is a request

I love that the new data_editor allows for num_rows = “dynamic” or “fixed”. I’d like to suggest having another option that allows for adding but not deleting. Deleting rows is often a scary thing. I like the ability to delete but I want to do it in a more controlled manner. I’m implementing an option that includes a column the user can check. If it’s checked then the process of deleting is done in the background where I save the row to a backup dataframe in case we need to retrieve it.

Thank you @blackary. That looks like a nice solution.
