Lock Fields/Columns in Table Collection - Not Editable

[mschindler504]

Wondering if there is a way to lock or prevent a specific field/column from being editable when selected?
e.g. I would like to lock the 'Title' column so when I click any rows 'title' field/cell, it doesn't force the Text Input Box. Would be nice addition to be able to open the note if the column is 'Read-Only'.

There isn't currently a way to lock or make specific fields/columns (like the 'Title' column) in a Table Collection read-only in Trilium Notes. The #readOnly attribute and related settings only affect the note content, not the title or attributes, and this limitation has been noted by other users as well. There are open feature requests and discussions about extending read-only protection to titles and attributes, but nothing has been implemented yet. No unofficial workarounds or scripts for locking table columns have been shared in the community so far.
You can read more about these limitations and related discussions here and here.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@mschindler504 , you can open a detailed feature request for it, seems like a sensible request.
But we need to think how we can actually make a column editable or not. Perhaps it might work to add an entry in the context menu of columns.
