 * When I have Project Form mode set to edit and allow insert/allow delete/allow
   import set to no, user can still add/delete/import. These settings do not appear
   to have any effect.

 * Hi Linda,
 * How you executing this project? On the back-end or on the front-end? If on front-
   end, which shortcode are you using?
 * Which version of the plugin do you have installed?
 * If you have multiple pages using this table, can you please double check if the
   page you are testing has these settings?
 * I double checked, but these features works in the back-end and on the front-end.
   I use the latest version.
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * So when I set the Project Form mode set to edit and allow insert/allow delete/
   allow import set to no that is only for the parent table. However, I do not want
   to allow add or delete for the child table – only edit and edit inline fields
   which works great. Is this possible? Thank you.

 * I think I solved my problem. I redesigned table so using as parent. Works good.

 * Hi Linda,
 * Good you solved it! And thanks for reporting back. 👍
 * Projects are defined as editable or read-only. It is currently not possible to
   make a child table read-only for editable projects. As a workaround you can create
   a view for your child table and use a view instead of the table. Views are not
   updateble! But this solves the problem only partly as you cannot add buttons 
   to a view to see the details. This is on my to do list…
 * Best rgards,
    Peter
