# editcolumns not doing anything

 * I am trying to make it so users can only edit the “Status” column, which is the
   column right after Submitted. I’ve tried to set ‘editcolumns’ to everything I
   can think of (Status, status, column0, column1, etc.) and still all the columns
   are editable. I’ve also tried deleting the ‘headers’ variable since that’s known
   to cause other problems with editing. Am I doing it wrong?
 * Here is my short table:
    [cfdb-datatable form=”External Purchase Requisition”
   edit=”cells” editcolumns=”Status” show=”Submitted,Status,department,RequesterName,
   ProjectName,file,purchasenotes,Submitted Login” headers=”Submitted=Create Date,
   department=Department,RequesterName=Requester Name,ProjectName=Project Name,file
   =File,purchasenotes=Purchase Notes,Submitted Login=Submitted By” filter=”Status
   ==Complete”]

      Reason: Of course I updated after I submitted a support request. Updating 
      fixed the problem. I'm ashamed to be in IT and not do this first
