Hello,

With reference to this previous resolved question: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/452199-how-can-i-have-dropdown-in-every-cell-of-a-table-in-app-designer

I would like to add a drop down list to an individual table cell. The solution provided in the link above applies the drop down to the whole column.

Is there any workaround by using the Table?

app.UITable.Data = {'female';'male';'male'}; % have 3 rows of gender information.
app.UITable.ColumnFormat = {{'male', 'female'}}; % have option cell array within ColumnFormat property to indicate the 1st column is using dropdown menus.
app.UITable.ColumnEditable = true;
