Is there a way to change the options available to the cell-rendered dropdown?  
\*sorry I’m having trouble formatting the text as code in this post

Declaration of drop down options in data-table:  
dash\_table.DataTable(  
id=‘table-dropdown’,  
data=df.to\_dict(‘rows’),  
columns=[  
{‘id’: ‘climate’, ‘name’: ‘climate’, ‘type’: ‘dropdown’},  
{‘id’: ‘temperature’, ‘name’: ‘temperature’},  
{‘id’: ‘city’, ‘name’: ‘city’, ‘type’: ‘dropdown’},  
],

```
        editable=True,
        column_static_dropdown=[
            {
                'id': 'climate',
                'dropdown': [
                    {'label': i, 'value': i}
                    for i in df['climate'].unique()
                ]
            },
            {
                'id': 'city',
                'dropdown': [
                    {'label': i, 'value': i}
                    for i in df['city'].unique()
                ]
            },
        ]
    ),

```

Changing of drop down options with callback on normal dropdown:  
@app.callback(  
dash.dependencies.Output(‘my-dropdown’, ‘options’),  
[dash.dependencies.Input(‘my-input’, ‘value’)])  
def update\_output(value):  
return [{‘label’: value, ‘value’: value}]

I can’t think of any component property of the data-table that I would access to achieve this.

This would be useful for me too. Any updates on this could be addressed?
