    Hi @Sudheerp, I'll tell you what I did. Once you submit the form containing the editable grid, there must be a list_type_variable which stores the data you added/edited. Now, case 1: If you have deleted some/all data then, you have to check with existing records for which one were deleted so that the deletion reflects in db. case 2: for addition/addition & updation, I don't think you have to do something uniquely except using the write to data store entity smart service. Use the smart service smartly and you're good to go.
