I have a dataset tag, I am binding tag to a table. I want two columns to be editable in that and after editing, dataset value should write back to the same tag. How can I do this? Any idea? Thanks. ---

I have tried with system.dataset.setvalue(). Table data is in json format, so setValue is not working for json data. I have tried to convert data in dataset or Pydataset like this but it is not working. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/6/6678c6856b08d75d662928c1764918a268e3bd3d.png) ---

ah yes like that it wont work You will have to create a dataset then from the ‘json’ using header and data like the first example here [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Datasets](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Datasets) ---

I think I may be missing something. Are you directly binding to the tag? If I bind a table’s data to a tag, it stays a BasicDataset. ---

Yes from tag we can get basic Dataset but I have transform script to convert tag data into json because to make fields editable data should be in json right? ---

You would if you are modifying the data directly in the table. But, you are binding to a tag, instead. onEditCellCommit ```python newData = system.dataset.setValue(self.props.data, event.row, event.column, event.value) system.tag.writeBlocking('[tagProvider]path/to/tag', newData) ``` ---

Did you bind it without the transform? ---

Yes, It worked, Thanks a lot.I thought json data is required for editable functionality. I have one more doubt, [How to Access network drive folder in perspective - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-access-network-drive-folder-in-perspective/52487) any idea for this?
