Drop down by index in table cell

Question

Hello
I need for one column in table to have a drop down.
I have the the following context:
node: Zsi_Profile_TyperdvZish_Available_Timeslots_S_Rfc
subnode: X
value attribute in subnode X: a
Node X is singelton = false, selection: 0-1.
I am defined a drop down by index for one column and I want the data to come from node It_Rnpb2.
The code:
for (int i = 0; i< wdContext.nodeZsi_Profile_TyperdvZish_Available_Timeslots_S_Rfc().size();i++)
wdContext.nodeZsi_Profile_TyperdvZish_Available_Timeslots_S_Rfc().getElementAt(i);
for (int j = 0;j< wdThis.wdGetRendezVousCustomController().wdGetContext().nodeIt_Rnpb2().size();j++)
wdContext.nodeX().addElement(wdContext.createXElement());
wdContext.currentXElement().setA(wdThis.wdGetRendezVousCustomController().wdGetContext().nodeIt_Rnpb2().getIt_Rnpb2ElementAt(j).getOrgid());
The result is: for first table line a drop down with few empty lines and one of the line with the last value from It_Rnpb2, and for the other table lines drop downs just with an empty line.
How can I fix this?
Thank you

Let me change those ugly node names into shorter ones and use an array containing the drop-down items for each row. I think you get the idea.
Table data source node: "Rows"
Non-singleton child node "Items", cardinality 0:N, with attribute "Text".
String TEXTS[][] with TEXT[r][j] = text of item j in row r
/* foreach row in table */
for (int r = 0; r < wdContext.nodeRows().size(); ++r)
  IRowsElement row = wdContext.nodeRows().getRowsElementAt(r);
  /* foreach drop-down list item */
  for (int j = 0; j < TEXTS[r].length; ++j)
    /* create item */
    IItemsElement item = row.nodeItems().createItemsElement();
    row.nodeItems().addElement(item);
    /* set item text */
    item.setText(TEXTS[r][j]);
I typed this code from memory so there might be minor errors.
