Currently our dash\_table is set as editable.  
I can enter in its colums from key board.  
However, I cannot paste from clipboard.

Is there anyway?

Thanks in advance,  
Kimi

I self-solved.

```auto
dash_table.DataTable(
                                        id="upload-map-preview",
                                        columns=[
                                            {
                                                "name": "col_1",
                                                "id": "col_1",
                                                "editable": False,
                                            },
                                            {
                                                "name": "col_2",
                                                "id": "col_2",
                                                "editable":True,
                                            },
                                        ],
                                    "editable":True,
                                    )

```

I added “editable:True” at the 2nd bottom line and it worked.
