I was working on a little something..until I came across an odd behavior.. at first I thought it is a bug and eventually I tested across multiple versions...It appears when you delete vertices on a mesh with morph targets all the targets disappear..or am I missing something?

 I always thought that rule number 1 with morph targets is that you can't add or delete vertices once morph targets are made.
 Losing all the targets is probably a good thing, as none would have been useable after deleting any vertices, and you would then need to delete them all manually anyway.

Actually it is quite useful to be able to preserve vertex order...this process is called non-destructive workflow..where you're able to change the main object and the rest of it's morph targets also follow the changes.Anyway I have done an experiment and succeeded with that.Basically I can delete a vertex and a new one and still preserve the shape keys,at first I did it with one vertex now I am working on recalculating all vertices.

Interesting.
