Hello. Is there a way to make the cell of a column editable, while leaving all the other cells in the same column non-editable?  
I’m already aware that we can set up the dataset with a style attribute (e.g.: to customise the background colour of a single cell). What I’ve done in [this picture](https://imgur.com/a/8KbEwkJ) doesn’t seem to work.

Thank you!

You would need to render the column as a View and use control the enabled/disabled state of the input via params passed in from the Table/data.

So I can achieve that by using the _viewPath_ and _viewParams_ objects, right?  
Thank you!

Out of curiosity, have you tried moving that editable property outside of the style object, but still within the cell object? I don’t know if that would solve your problem, but I would not expect the editable property to live inside the style properties.

@swolnisty, looks like it works! Thank you so much.
