To close this out...

I figured it out to as good as I think it gets. The key is to call NSRuleEditor::setCriteria with nil arrays. The nil arrays force it to go to its data source (which for NSPredicateEditor is the row templates) to refill. It does reset the row to the initial value, but I don't really think there is a way around that and I think it is valid (at least easily rationalized) interface-wise that if you change the criteria mid edit of a predicate it has to reset in case your selected option vanished. Not optimal, but oh well.

Example:

[_editor setCriteria:[NSArray array] andDisplayValues:[NSArray array] forRowAtIndex: 1];

I am trying to create an NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate with its last view a popup that contains a list of things (elsewhere in the window) that can be updated while the editor is being displayed. I can get it so that I can add an instance of the template, update the list of items and add another instance which shows the updated list, but the original does not update.

For example, the original templates specifies A,B,C in the last popup. I add a row with that template then I add a D to the list of items and then add another row to the Predicate Editor. This new row will show me a list of A,B,C,D but the original row still just shows A,B,C.

Is there a way to resync that existing row with the new list of items in its source template? Am I going to have to remove and re- add the row programmatically?

You should call -[NSPredicateEditor setRowTemplates:] with an array containing the new template (but not the old one). If you want to preserve the predicate, you may have to save off the predicate via - objectValue, and then set it back; or alternatively calling reloadCriteria should work.
