arcgis pro table frames do not work when tables are rebuilt?

Trying to migrate to ArcGIS Pro; I build a map with several point feature classes that are created from a model.  I added the map to a layout and added table frames for several of the layers in the map.   This seemed a fantastic way to show the attributes in the feature classes.    When I rerun the model, that recreates the output feature classes, the table frames (that reference the feature classes) no longed appear in the layout.   I manually added another table frame, from the rebuild feature class/layer and it added just fine.

Has anyone else experienced this?  i.e. Table Frames becoming useless when a table or feature class is rebuilt?

It is very frustrating to say the least.

Marcus - could you change the process to delete and append your data in the table instead of recreating the table?  The table frames are great and it seems like there should be a way to use them without having to recreate them each time.

Or you know what else would be cool, if you could save a template of your table that remembers your settings.

Yes.  We would like to support table frame styles in a future release. In the meantime, you can copy a table frame that you formatted, paste this as a new table frame and point it to a different source table.  Doing this should maintain many of the format settings you authored for the original table frame.
