Dropdown list in infotype table control

Question

Hello,
I am creating a custom HR infotype with dropdown list field. This field holds a key but displays a text from text table. Dropdowns contents are dependant on Start Date of the infotype record and I am using PBO module to fetch this data. Everything works fine except one detail. Infotype has automatically generated overview table control, which holds various data including Start Date of infotype record and the dropdown field in question. And even that would work well if not for the date, in case when I drop the date check dropdowns in all rows get populated. Currently it seems to only use the date on the last row of the table control and subsequently fails to correctly populate dropdowns in all other rows. With no access to SAP code which populates table control, how do I get the date for each individual row?
Best regards, Armins

Hi Marty,
For this you have to create 2 nodes
1. A node which will be bound to the table. This will  be a singleton node.
2. A node for dropdown. This node should be inside the table node and should be a non-singleton one.
Check the singleton properties of both the nodes above.
Whenever you will create an element for table node, an instance of the dropdown node will be automatically created.
To set the value in this dropdown at leadselection, you can use the below logic
1. Assume you know the value of the fruit to be set in the dropdown
2. for(int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeFruit().size(); i++)
          if( wdContext.currentTableNode().nodeFruit().getFruitElementAt(i).getFruit().equals(fruitName) )
                wdContext.currentTableNode().nodeFruit().setLeadSelection(i);
                break;
Hope this helps you.
