Why can't I select a checkbox in my tableview? - checkbox

Question

I have a javaFX 8 pane that contains a Piles TableView. When I select a Pile from the TableView, it queries a database and populates a second TableView with instances of LogExt. This second TableView includes a column of checkboxes mapped to the LogExt.selected boolean property.
When I run the application, I can't select any of the checkboxes.
LogExt:
public class LogExt {
private BooleanProperty selected = new SimpleBooleanProperty();
private Log log;
public LogExt(Log log) {
this.setSelected(false);
this.log = log;
}
public boolean isSelected() {
return selected.get();
}
public BooleanProperty selectedProperty() {
return selected;
}
public void setSelected(boolean selected) {
this.selected.set(selected);
}
public Log getLog() {
return log;
}
public void setLog(Log log) {
this.log = log;
}
}
The controller:
public class CustomOrderController {
#FXML
private RadioButton openRadio;

You need to enable editing on your table.
logTable.setEditable(true);
possibly on your column as well
selectedCol.setEditable(true);
