How can I create rows in UITable APP Designer with categoricals and have the user add rows as necessary?

I am developing an app where the user should be able to select from a dropdown within a table and also add rows to the table as more data is required. The user will select if the data is a force, moment, material property, etc. from a dropdown then input the value (editable entry). So far I have been able to create the table but cannot seem to input rows with the correct data types and dynamically add/remove rows.

You can create an editable column and use 'categorical' function to add dropdown list as per your requirement.

Kindly follow this MATLAB answer for a similar example where a dropdown is created using 'categorical' function.

For the second part you can create correcsponding edit fields from the component library and append the data to the table.

function UpdateButtonPushed(app, event)

            app.Data=app.UITable.Data;
            app.Data=[app.Data;{app.PropertyEditField.Value,app.timeEditField.Value,app.DropDown.Value,1,1}]
            app.UITable.Data=app.Data;
            app.UITable.ColumnEditable=true;            
end
