making cell non-editable of the grid based on a condition

[Dynamo]

columns: [{field: "Version",
template: function (dataItem) {
                            if (kendo.htmlEncode(dataItem.Version) == "Pacing")
                            {//I want to make a cell read only if its text value is Pacing. I am able to make it bold but not read only.

                                //dataItem.Version.editable = true;

                               // return kendo.htmlEncode(dataItem.Version.editable(true));
                                return "<strong>" + kendo.htmlEncode(dataItem.Version) + "</strong>";
                            }
                        },
                        title: "Version", width: "110px", editable: true
                    },
                    { field: "Quarter1", title: "Quarter1", width: "110px", editable: true },

 Also I want some columns editable but I am not getting that by writing editable=true

Kindly help asap, need for a project

Hello Dynamo,

Modifying the template of the column will not make it readonly. You should use the columns.editor property to achieve the task. Here is a sample implementation. Another possible solution would be to attach a handler to the edit event of the Grid and prevent the editing of the column in some cases.
