setColumnStyle	function	See setColumnStyle(columnName, cssStyle)
setValidationError	function	See setValidationError(columnName, errorMessage)

✨ Example of a preInsert Hook

This example prevents updates when the column status has the value "INIT".

((getColumnValue, setColumnValue, setColumnStyle, setValidationError, unsetValidationError) => {

	const value = getColumnValue("status")

	if (value === "INIT") {

    	wpda.alert("ERROR", "Insert not allowed!")		// Use built-in alert
        wpda.snackbar("Insert not allowed!", "error")   // Use built-in snackbar
      
        return false

    }

})
