If I am understanding you correctly, you are trying to get a dropdown component within an embedded view in a table’s cell to update the value associated with that particular cell. I, personally, have not had any luck doing this with bidirectional bindings. I would use message handlers to update the cell’s value in the data property of your table instead. I wrote a post [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-table-dynamic-column-viewparams-per-row/34657/6) that explains how I would approach it. Hopefully that helps clarify things?
