Hi,

is it possible to just make certain columns or just even certain cells editable in the same Table and the rest of the values in the remaining cells/columns are fixed?  
Thanks

Hi,

Not sure about individual cells, but you can specify which columns are editable in the `columns` prop via the key `"editable"`. From the [docs](https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/reference):

> - **`editable`** ( _boolean_ ; optional): There are two `editable` flags in the table. This is the column-level editable flag and there is also the table-level `editable` flag. These flags determine whether the contents of the table are editable or not. If the column-level `editable` flag is set it overrides the table-level `editable` flag for that column.

Hope this helps!
