How can I add DropDown Menus in multiple Cells of a particular Column in a UITable in App Designer?

I was able to populate the data into the UITable, but I want to make a column editible by placing a dropdown in a cell with three options/items within the dropdown and the amount of data within the UITable varies. I don't want to make multiple app.___DropDown to be inserted in each cell, but the same app component within each cell. I don't know if it's possble, but please let me know or if there is a UITable property that makes the cells of particular column in DropDown menus without having to do anything super complex.

Yes, you can set the ColumnFormat of that column to a cell array containing the dropdown items. The same items will appear in all dropdowns in that column of the uitable.

For example:

col_format = {'numeric' {'Yes' 'No'} 'numeric'};

data = {1 'Yes' 3; 11 'No' 6.5; 7.77 'No' 9; 10 'Yes' 12.13};

t = uitable( ...
    'Data',data, ...
    'ColumnFormat',col_format, ...
    'ColumnEditable',true(1,size(data,2)));

I'm currentl using an app so I'm populating data into a table using the following line:

app.UITable.Data = Meta_Data{app.index,2}{1,1};

It's able to populate the data within the UITable, but the dropdown, are you able to do that within an app? structure of the

I was able to figure it out, thank you for your help.

app.UITable.ColumnFormat = {'numeric' {'yes' 'no' 'maybe'} 'logical'};

Thank you!
