Summary
Working in a Cloud instance, the aim is to make an entire table row editable using Dynamic Column settings, but only per-column editability (true/false) is exposed rather than a row-level editable option.
AI Response
There isn't a single row-level 'editable' toggle, but you can achieve the same result because each column's Editable setting accepts a dynamic expression. Instead of a static true/false, write a boolean that references the row's own data (e.g. via the current row / item) so editability is evaluated per row. Apply this expression to every column you want conditionally editable to effectively make the whole row editable based on its values. Be aware of one known caveat: when editability is controlled dynamically, newly added rows may not become editable as expected.

Hi @Kobus_van_Wyk!
As you may have seen already, the table settings do not include an "editable row" toggle when using dynamic columns.
Are you looking to only edit specific rows? If you could give me more specific details I can test things out on my end.
One workaround that you can do is setting the specific columns to "Editable", but only for a certain condition. To do this, you will need to click into the column settings, then under the "Editable" section, click the FX next to it to include your condition. For example:
In this example, I have made the Name column editable, but only if the person's role is Viewer. Otherwise, you cannot edit the name in that specific row.
Lastly, you will need to write a SQL query to save the changes to your database.
Hope this helps! Let me know if this is not what you're looking for, and I will take another look ![]()
