Power table - When a row is selected, only selected row should be editable and all other rows must be disabled from editing.

There a catch-22 here: clicking to edit first does selection, so the cell to be edited is always selected that point in time. So you would have to disable row **selection** , but that will also disable all edits.

No can do.

Consider using external edit fields driven table data, and disabling the entire table once editing in them begins.
