I just noticed that I couldn't edit my #wordcount column in the book list for my three primary libraries (_Main, _Journals and _Media). When I hit tab in the column to the left of #wordcount I would drop out of edit mode When I went into the MDE dialogue the #wordcount columns were absent.

So I looked into custom_columns table in the three databases, and I wasn't surprised to find the #wordcount editable column had a value of '0'.

I can just about believe I might have changed this in one library database at some time, most likely my _Test Library database, but in my three primary libraries... hardly

Normal service, i.e. ability to tab through the #wordcount column in the book list in edit mode, was resumed once I changed the editable cell for #wordcount to '1'

So my question is: was the plugin changed to set the editable column in the custom_columns table to 0 for the #wordcount custom column? Because that's the only explanation for the strange phenomenon I can come up with

For many people it wouldn't be a bad idea to make the columns Count Pages populates non editable. But it should be configurable, because it wouldn't suit everyone.
