I could reproduce issue mentioned in the topic description 'Column Xpath must start with RowPath expression', but that is when user does steps in wrong sequence.
That only happens if user edits Row Xpath and remove index and then tries to select column xpath i.e.,
for example
1. user selects RowXpath to: //ns:cities[1]/ns:city[1]
2. then removes index, and Row Xpath look //ns:cities/ns:city
3. now selects Column Xpath ==> leads to error.
So that trick is to select the column xpath before removing the index. i.e., change the sequence of above steps to 1, 3 and then perform step 2 finally. So that you wont have problem at all.
It is now clear that why Row Xpath(rows are repeatable) is inline editable and why column xpath(non-repeatable i.e., columns are fixed) is not editable
