Hi there,
I want to know why insert/remove column options are disable from context-menu. and how to enable them
Insert column option disable in context menu
Hi @rupeshfend
I believe your data set is in a form of array of objects. In this case only inserting/removing rows operation is allowed.

ok, I am using the data set is in a form of Array of arrays, it’s allowing me to insert/remove rows, But not allowing to insert/remove columns
Please share a code demo showing your current configuration, so I can determine what the problem is.

Hey, I have created the demo, please check and let me know how can I made the column insertion and removal enable without affecting my dataset structure.

Hi @rupeshfend
Thank you for the example. I checked it, and your dataset is array of objects. In this case the alter method won’t work for columns alteration. In this case you would need to use updateSettings method to update the columns number and create a custom context menu to apply this logic.

Hey, check this example of having dataset as array of array, still column insertion and removal is disable, https://stackblitz.com/edit/handsontable-angular-n6wuv9?file=app%2Fapp.component.ts
Yes, but you still have the columns option defined, and that changes the structure by itself. I would still recommend using the approach I proposed in my previous message.
It will be helpful for me, if you provide me a demo on jsfiddle or any other platform.
I am not able to prepare custom code examples. I can only guide on what to use, and as I mentioned it should be done with the updateSettings and then updating the columns configuration. It also strongly depends on your requirements and implementation.
Here you can find an example showing how to build a custom context menu: https://handsontable.com/docs/javascript-data-grid/context-menu/#context-menu-with-a-fully-custom-configuration
