Enable editing of read-only up-stream columns

By default, the upstream sub-columns, i.e., the columns showing linked item properties, are marked as read-only.

Why is it a default behavior?

• The linked objects are used in other places
• Users may not realize that changing the values impacts other places as well

How to enable editing of the columns

You can mark the column explicitly as "readOnly":false.

{
  "headerGroup":"Potential risks",
  "headerGroupCss":"headPotentialRisks",
  "headerCss":"headPotentialRisks",
  "header": "Harm Severity",
   "bindings":"harm.harmSeverity",
  "type": "enum:harm_severity_5",
  "width": 110,
   "readOnly":false,
   "filterable":true,
   "level": 3,
   "id":"severity"
},

As you can see in the picture below, it is now possible to edit the column.
