Hi,

I made a form where I can edit entity article and its related HasMany relation with comments in one form.

For example

-\> [Article.name](http://Article.name),

-\> [Comment.1.id](http://Comment.1.id), [Comment.1.name](http://Comment.1.name)  
-\> [Comment.2.id](http://Comment.2.id), [Comment.2.name](http://Comment.2.name)  
-\> [Comment.3.id](http://Comment.3.id), [Comment.3.name](http://Comment.3.name)

When I remove comment 2 from this list (using javascript) and then click save. The comment will still persist in the database. How to make sure the comments not on this list get removed?
