Hi, The basic answer to this is that you create the table in such a way as it has a header row that is the title/model name. Then your column headers and finally the repeat region. If you're able you can filter and flatten items to get the table to be accurate. Not sure about your manual overrides. 

When you add the table the active model in the drawing is what drives the content of that table. You could have any number of models and tables added that's entirely up to you.

I suggest that make a view of the model on each sheet of the drawing and the table is on that sheet to keep them together.

 

hope this helps

The only way I've seen to do this is begin to change which Model / Rep the repeat region uses.  Go to the Table tab in the Creo ribbon, click the Repeat Region icon, select Model / Rep from the menu that appears on the right, then click in a region.  It will display the "Open" dialog box to choose a model, and at the same time, a line is displayed in the message window (bottom left of the Creo window) that says something like "Currently driven by xxxxxxxxx.asm - Master Rep".  Cancel the "Open" dialog box if you do not want to change the model.  I'm using Creo 3.0, not sure if it works the same in other releases.
