I need to add a editable field where I can write custom notes for each device in the table of “Device/Listing devices ” like the example.

Does anyone already have a solution or would be able to give me some advice?  
Thanks

You can accomplish this using a [virtual parameter](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/virtual-parameters.html).

I followed the guide you reported but the editable field is not added.

I tried it like this

In the **Editing index page** section I tried to enter the parameter in these two ways but without success

and in the **listing config** it shows like this

You are overwriting the value of the vparam every time to empty string.

```auto
let note = '';

if ("value" in args[1]) {
    note = args[1].value[0];
}

return {writable: true, value: [note, "xsd:string"]};

```
