It's possible but has some caveats with it. This post shows how to get the columnsAttributeData and sets a column to be editable during runtime. You can probably achieve what you want manipulating the hidden attribute. > [@Edit Column Attributes Dataset](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/edit-column-attributes-dataset/21120/4): > > Take a look at this script. If you analyze it you should be able to see the places where your script went off track. table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Table') columnData = table.columnAttributesData newData = system.dataset.setValue(columnData, 1, 'editable', 1) table.columnAttributesData = newData I also think it's important to read this: > [@Column Attributes Data Refresh](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/column-attributes-data-refresh/7043/2): > > That dataset only updates when you open the customizer. You could put a Cell Updated binding on it if you want to force some values in there, or bind the whole dataset to something else, but generally modifying the Cell Attributes dataset is a pain. It will remember rows you have already set up even if the column wasn’t there a few minutes ago. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/programmatically-hide-or-show-vision-table-column/38695)._
