I am using node red version : v3.1.9, and dashboard 2.0 node version: 1.17.0

I am populating table node which is working fine. I just want to add an input field column so that user can add some data in that specific row of the table.

Please guide how this can be achieved.

As far as I know, the standard dashboard 2.0 table node does not support "in-cell" user editing. I can think of 2 solutions:

1. Add a `ui-form` node, with input fields for row, column & data, which upon submit updates the table with a message.
2. Move to a more advanced table node, such as `@omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator`, which enables you to edit data directly within the table cells (in various ways, e.g. text input, drop-list etc.), and also has an option to automatically synchronize these changes across other dashboard clients
