Hello Chuck, am not 100% certain but sounds very much to me as if the table
doesn't have a primary key.

 When I first started using Base I was confounded by being able to create
tables by import from csv and spreadsheet files but not edit them.
Eventually someone told me all tables need a primary key to be editable.
Once I added primary keys the tables could be edited. Given my prior
experiences this was totally unexpected and so quite surprising but it
worked.
