I am not able to edit table in Perspective. I added a table to show some values from database. I enabled the **allowEditOn** property to **double-click**. But nothing happens when I double click a cell in the table.

The column you want to allow editing on must be configured to allow for editing.

Assuming you have a table which contains a column with a header of “city”, then you should verify the following configuration:

Scroll down in `Table.props` and locate the `columns` property. You must add an entry for that array, configure the `field` property of the new column entry to match the name of the column you want to make editable, and you must set `editable` for this column to be `true`. You should also create a `column` entry for each of your other columns which you would at least like displayed.

Ignition is acting weird. It’s showing one thing in the designer and something else in the browser!
