Grid not editable in 9.6

[JO_9930585]

I followed this guide...

https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9.6/en/#page/ThingWorx/Help/Mashup_Builder/Widgets/Grid_EditingCellData.html#

However, I do not see the edit icon shown below and I cannot edit a cell. Does anyone know why this may be? All I see is the edit button, but nothing becomes editable when pressed.

Hello @JO_9930585 ,

Make sure you enabled "Editable" on required columns in Configure Grid Columns.

Also, when you set IsEditable = true on the grid itself, it starts in the editable mode and then it would get into read-only mode when you click that Edit button in the toolbar -- maybe that's what happens in your case?

The bug was actually in a datashape, not the grid. The grid was an artifact of this bug. For some reason the datashape output was giving a string even though it says it should be long and the value was set to 1. I never figured out why the service/datashape were doing this. Instead I created all new entities, deleted the old ones, and everything worked after this.
