How can I have 'dropdown' in an individual cell of a table in App Designer and not to the whole columns ?

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;

Hi Alessandro.

No, it is not possible to format individual cells in a UITable using ColumnFormat. ColumnFormat can only be used to format entire columns.

Please take a look at this link for more information:
