Why is my JavaFX Tableview not editable?

Why is my TableView not allowing the ID column to be editable? The getPenaltyIdProperty() returns an IntegerProperty (a SimpleIntegerProperty to be exact) and yet I thought this would allow the edits to happen automatically via bindings. what am I missing?

public class PenaltyDashboardManager { 

    private final TableView<Penalty> penaltyTable = new TableView<Penalty>();

/* ... */

    private void initializeTable() { 

        penaltyTable.setItems(Penalty.getPenaltyManager().getPenalties());
        penaltyTable.setEditable(true);

        TableColumn<Penalty,Number> penaltyId = new TableColumn<>("ID");
        penaltyId.setCellValueFactory(c -> c.getValue().getPenaltyIdProperty());
        penaltyId.setEditable(true);

        /* ... */

        penaltyTable.getColumns.add(penaltyId);
    }

}

You need a cell factory to produce a cell that allows the user to edit the value. E.g.

penaltyId.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn(new NumberStringConverter());
