# Edit Table Plugin This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an **[ Edit table ]** button if preceeded by an `%EDITTABLE{...}%` variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box, a date field, etc. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.
