Description

When I use dashtable with cell_selectable=False, all cells are not selectable. I am wondering if we can have the option to choose certain columns / rows that are not selectable? In my case, I only want 1 column that is selectable. Other columns should be disabled.

Using dash 2.9

Research direction

Start by locating the DataTable handling for cell_selectable and review how selection currently applies to cells. Define how designated rows or columns should remain selectable while the others are disabled, then verify the behavior for both row and column restrictions in the relevant tests.
