When a WPDataTable is made 'front end editable', users can amend contents of all columns in that table in the front end.
Is it possible to restrict which columns are editable ? What I am trying to do is create a table of questions to which the user will be providing answers in one column from a series of multi choice options , most of which will be either "Y" or "N". I only want the user to be able to give their answers in the specific column in the table.I do not want them to be able to overwrite the text in the questions or add to or delete from any of the lines/questions in the table .

Hi chrisburr
Thank you for reaching out to us.
To disable editing in a specific column you can simply navigate to the column's settings and set the Editing input type to None
