Interactive grid - Edit link column

APEX 18.2

I read this thread but I am still not sure how to implement this pattern in an editable IG

  1. Column display type = Link
  2. Link text sourced from table column
  3. Link target = Constructed from link text with a known pattern e.g. if link text = 1234, link target = https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/photos/1234
  4. Link attributes = set using hidden columns in the query using &COL. notation

Example to use for discussion - https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=1855:30

The problem is that the Link column is rendered read-only.

What am I missing?

Update: I was missing 2 things a) Any IG column can be configured to display a link using the Column > Link properties regardless of its editable display type. This is possible because b) IG cells are modal i.e. edit mode is triggered by the Edit button or double clicking in the cell, then IG swaps in the (editable) display type specified. I updated my example accordingly.
