Is there a way to set a column to be editable through scripting? This is part of the custom properties of the power table, so I am skeptical…

If not, is there a third party table object I can use?

Thanks,

Yes, check colName and return True in the isCellEditable extension function

Even making this a little more dynamic. I have a custom property called “ReadOnlyColumns” that I parse and if the selected column is not in this array it will return true.
