    Do you have a table option where you can mix and match input types (i.e. one column is a Dropdown selection and the others are data input fields)? See example below:

    UPDATE (June 11, 2019): The input table field has a new type called Multi-Type Columns. You will now be able to set different type for each column such as Single Choice, Checkbox, Textbox, and Dropdown.

    Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to have mixed input types using the Matrix/Input table field.

    You will have to use multiple Matrix table field instead that have different input type, and then just position them side by side to make them appear like Matrix table with different input type.
