Thanks for your question Mike.
I hope Alexander's answer helped.
To develop this slightly further, to get consistent options, best
practice would be to save your CSV file to some other format within QGIS
- perhaps as a table without geometry in a geopackage - and then you
will be able to edit it to your heart's content.
Whether this is suitable depends on your wider workflow - and why you
are bringing in a CSV file, which you don't specify.
Good luck!
Best wishes,
Nick.

Hi Mike,
I think you are loading CSV via Data Source Manager using the
delimited text data provider, while when you drag-and-drop it the OGR
provider is used. These providers have different capabilities,
so this is a normal situation.

Hello everyone,
when I load a CSV file (without geometry) via the ‘Data Source Manager’ in QGIS
3 and QGIS 4, I cannot edit it in the attribute table. However, if I drag the
CSV file into the project, the attribute table can be edited just as easily as
with other datasets.
Is this normal? If so, why? Or can this perhaps be adjusted so that the CSV
file is always editable?
Thanks, mikeE.
