You are writing down the dropdowns options in the database when they click a row?

Thats not neccecary!  
in your view with the dropdown you can add the params (or just the ones you need):

```auto
column
columnIndex
row
rowIndex
value
rowData

```

These will get automattically filled in to each row correctly, no need to bind it in the viewParams either!

Here i just use a textfield and label but you see what i mean?^^

(viewpaths name is just ‘text’ xd made a quick example)
