Hi, Labhesh,

Currently, the Kendo UI TreeList does not have a columns editable configuration like the Kendo UI Grid which can be very convenient for cases like this one.

So the only way I can think of that you may achieve the desired result is to use the columns editor template as a function and decide whether to render an editor or just return the text instead:

{

field: "FirstName",

editor: function(container, options) {

if(options.model.parentId){

var input = $("<input class='k-textbox'/>");

input.attr("name", options.field);

input.appendTo(container);

} else {

return container.text(options.model[options.field]);

}

},

We are currently working on the Kendo UI TreeList editing improvements and it seems that adding a columns editable option as a function could make a great addition to the Kendo UI TreeList and I do not see it as a feature request in the UserVoice portal:

The items which are popular get pushed in our planning and future implementation.

Let me know what you think about the suggested approach.
