[Python] make treeWidget editable for specific row and column

I'm new to pyqt6 and I wanted to play around, learn and explore the possibilities. For that I created a spimple main frame with dummy data and a treeWidget.

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QTreeWidget, QTreeWidgetItem, QVBoxLayout, QWidget

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()

# Set up the window
self.setWindowTitle("QTreeWidget Example")
self.setGeometry(100, 100, 800, 600)

# Create the QTreeWidget
tree_widget = QTreeWidget(self)
tree_widget.setColumnCount(6) # Set the number of columns
tree_widget.setHeaderLabels(["Col1", "Col2", "Col3", "Col4", "Col5", "Col6"])

# Add some parent rows and child rows with dummy data
root1 = QTreeWidgetItem(tree_widget, ["Root1", "Data1", "Data2", "Data3", "Data4", "Data5"])
child1 = QTreeWidgetItem(root1, ["Child1", "DataA", "DataB", "DataC", "DataD", "DataE"])
child2 = QTreeWidgetItem(root1, ["Child2", "DataX", "DataY", "DataZ", "DataW", "DataV"])

root2 = QTreeWidgetItem(tree_widget, ["Root2", "Info1", "Info2", "Info3", "Info4", "Info5"])
child3 = QTreeWidgetItem(root2, ["Child3", "DetailA", "DetailB", "DetailC", "DetailD", "DetailE"])
child4 = QTreeWidgetItem(root2, ["Child4", "DetailX", "DetailY", "DetailZ", "DetailW", "DetailV"])

root3 = QTreeWidgetItem(tree_widget, ["Root3", "Example1", "Example2", "Example3", "Example4", "Example5"])
child5 = QTreeWidgetItem(root3, ["Child5", "SubDataA", "SubDataB", "SubDataC", "SubDataD", "SubDataE"])
child6 = QTreeWidgetItem(root3, ["Child6", "SubDataX", "SubDataY", "SubDataZ", "SubDataW", "SubDataV"])

root4 = QTreeWidgetItem(tree_widget, ["Root4", "Sample1", "Sample2", "Sample3", "Sample4", "Sample5"])
child7 = QTreeWidgetItem(root4, ["Child7", "PartA", "PartB", "PartC", "PartD", "PartE"])
child8 = QTreeWidgetItem(root4, ["Child8", "PartX", "PartY", "PartZ", "PartW", "PartV"])

root5 = QTreeWidgetItem(tree_widget, ["Root5", "Test1", "Test2", "Test3", "Test4", "Test5"])
child9 = QTreeWidgetItem(root5, ["Child9", "ItemA", "ItemB", "ItemC", "ItemD", "ItemE"])
child10 = QTreeWidgetItem(root5, ["Child10", "ItemX", "ItemY", "ItemZ", "ItemW", "ItemV"])

# Layout setup
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(tree_widget)

# Set up the central widget
central_widget = QWidget(self)
central_widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(central_widget)

# Main application entry
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())


I could manage to make the treeWidget editable with some flags.

Is it possible to make the treeView inplace editable e.g. for all root rows in column2 and column3? Or e.g. for all child rows only the last column?
