[Qgis-user] Editing Joined Tables

[Charles Dixon-Paver]

As far as I'm aware you cannot edit external flat file tables like csv as
they are imported into a QGIS project in a read only state.

I would try exporting those tables to a database table (like a geopackage
table without geometry) and then performing the join to see if you get the
desired result.
