Editable Cell
my solution: collect all childNodes, if all childNode is textNode or br element，I think it is not a td, back to a Text Wrapper and the user can edit the content
Read full answer below ↓Question
Hello, I am using GrapesJS for newsletters (with the gjs-preset-newsletter plugin) and i have a problem when I import code. I can't edit the boxes of type 'cell' (tds, trs...). I read it is a parameter and try to change it, unsuccessfully. Is there a way to do it without changing the source code?

You should wrap the text in some other tag. If you can't change the content you should probably have to extend the original component Eg. inside isComponent make some kind of change
