I'm currently at a loss with this and have tried many different things to no avail, including searching google

To quickly explain what's going on, I'm trying to delete an item from a specific table in my addon's db - that uses AceDb - and it works, but the deletion is reverted when the game/ui is reloaded.

The table below is the table I've been working with to test. In my addon's config, I've coded the ability to remove spells from the group. In my case, I've been trying to remove item #3, "LavaBurst".

groups = {
    [1] = {
        [1] = "FlameShock",
        [2] = "EarthShock",
        [3] = "LavaBurst",
        [4] = "Earthquake",
        [5] = "ElementalBlast",
    },
    ...
},

The following methods were tried to delete the table item

-- Tried the simplest way to remove a table item
tremove(db.auras[spec].groups[grp],j)

-- Tried an advance means of removing a table item
local function RemoveItemFromTable(db,index)
    local numItems = #db
    
    db[index] = nil
    
    if (index < numItems) then
        for i=index,numItems do
            if (db[i + 1]) then
                db[i] = db[i + 1]
                db[i + 1] = nil
            else
                db[numItems] = nil
            end
        end
    end 
end

-- I even tried clearing that table completely and rebuilding it
local function RebuildAuraGroupTable(db,grp)
    local tempTable = {}
    
    for i=1,#db[grp] do
        tinsert(tempTable,db[grp][i])
    end
    
    db[grp] = nil
    
    db[grp] = {}
    
    for i=1,#tempTable do
        db[grp][i] = tempTable[i]
    end
end

Using LuaBrowser, I can verify that "LavaBurst" is correctly removed from the table.

It's clear that AceDb didn't recognize the deletion and is just loading slot #5 from the "defaults" table on reload. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
