Create a way to schedule or script the manual steps to refresh the source for Enriched Editable Tables

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Enriched editable tables let us feed calculated data into the editable tables, however the data isn't able to update for new rows or overwritten data.  A lookup in the script* can work when added/editing a row but if the source data changes after the add/edit is saved, it won't update.  We have quite a few Enriched Editable tables, making this process time consuming.  Is there a way to schedule or script the following steps? This is our process: 

  1. Lock* the editable table so no new changes can be made.
  2. Publish the editable table to the transform table and allow time to calc.
  3. Copy (Datalink or CopyTable) the transform table to the source table and allow time to calc.
  4. Delete all Rows for Editable Table.
  5. Unlock editable table.

Lock*  It would be nice if this step wasn't required.  If the process could somehow create a timestamp so that only the copied data is impacted by the Delete All Rows, and any changes made after the time stamp are retained.  At times it can be frustrating for users, this process requires at least 2 calc cycles which equates to 4-5 hours of being locked.

Script*:  The script works when a row is added/edited, but it doesn't work if the source changes after save.
