Should the resize() callback on editableList be called when I click the Add row button, or the x to remove a row? I am only seeing it getting called when I initially open the dialog.
Using 4.0.0 beta 3

Hi @Colin,
I use the `editableList` quite a bit.
This is what I do, and seems to work well.
1. My Target element
```html
').append(
'
Filter Sets - order defines outputs
'
),
sortable: true,
removable: true,
addButton: 'Add Filter Set',
addItem: AddItem,
sortItems: SortItems,
removeItem: RemoveItem
});
```
1. **oneditresize**
```auto
oneditresize: function (size) {
$('#filtersets').editableList('height', size.height - 70);
}
```
I increase the height of each item when it has focus.
I should note : I don't use the BETA

Is that for when the dialog is resized? That isn't what I am trying to trap, I want to know when the number of rows in the list changes. The [docs](https://nodered.org/docs/api/ui/editableList/#options-resize) say
'A function that gets called when the size of the list changes.'
Which I took to mean that the number of rows has changed. It doesn't appear to get called when I resize the dialog.

Ah I see.
I don't 'react' if that is right word during addition (at least I don't do anything with the number of items at that point).
I could be wrong - but **addItem** is the call back used when the number of items are being added to and **removeItem** for when one is removed.
You could (if **resize** isn't the event used for this) count the items inside these events?
```auto
const itemCount = $('#filtersets').editableList('items').length
```
Have never used **resize** myself, so it may be of use for you, but have never used it myself.
I wonder if the `resize` event is when the initial Dom element is sized up / or modified later by user code 🤷♂️

I am currently doing what I need in addItem and removeItem, but it would save code if I could do it in resize. It would be good to know whether this does work in version 3, in case it is a bug in the beta. I haven't got a non-beta version I can play with at the moment.

Does **resizeItem** work for you?
it appears this ~~is~~ should be called when the collection has changed?
this is followed by **resize**
> A function that gets called against each item in the list when the size of the list changes.

EDIT Let me test **resize**....

@Colin
Ok...
It ONLY gets called during init (NOT after an item is added/removed)
Node RED : 3.1.9

Thanks for confirming the problem. I have submitted an [issue](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/4722).

As noted in the linked issue, the docs are at least ambiguous, if not misleading. In fact you were correct, it is a change in the physical size of the list _element_ that invokes the callback, not the size (length) of the list itself.

Indeed seems to be the case.
Appears to require the docs in this area to be better explained?
