Thanks for providing this great and useful plugin. As you mentioned in your documentation that you are working on improving the limitation for tables with joins, I am providing this feedback.
"Only one MySQL table can be edited at a time. Queries from multiple tables with joins cannot be used for editable feature, since SQL UPDATE and INSERT statements are generated automatically, and for now there is no way to update multiple tables – but we are working on this."
I suggest having multiple ID column for editing multiple columns. In the MySQL query bellow, which is pivoting wp_usermeta table, the ID column for editing first name column should be first_name_umeta_id, and the one for last name needs to be set on last_name_umeta_id.
The problem is currently we can only set 1 ID column for editing columns. The related image is attached.
select a.user_id, c.umeta_id as first_name_umeta_id,c.meta_value as first_name , d.umeta_id as last_name_umeta_id,d.meta_value as last_name from wp_usermeta as a join wp_usermeta c on a.user_id=c.user_id and c.meta_key = 'first_name' join wp_usermeta d on a.user_id=d.user_id and d.meta_key = 'last_name' where a.meta_key='nickname'
Thank you again for sharing ideas and suggestions with us. Like I said on your private ticket this is on our TODO list so we hope that we will implement some new features for future updates.
Unfortunately this will not be included in our new update but like I said I added this request to our TODO list for the future improvements for the plugin.

I'd enjoy having this feature, too. Does anybody know any workarounds? Don't really want to store all the data in one table...
