You can copy the table from the Base file to a new file based on the internal
HSQL. If you add a primary key you can enter new datas.

Set it to feature 

thx mechtilde

reopen issue to send as feature enhancement to the requirements team

the 'read only state' constraint of some data sources is annoying (specially if
it is a native calc spreadsheet) - even if you can 'workaround' this like
mechtilde has written, this should not be the final solution, so hopefully this
will be improved, but the decision belongs to the requirements team

thx

I think we can set it to New
