Question

I have a table in which I compare the two versions of a selected Data.
This data actually has more than one version stored, so in my table I have column as:

    class ver_compare(tables.Table):
       new_db = tables.CheckBoxColumn()
       data = tables.Column()
       current_rev = tables.Column()
       next_rev = tables.Column()*

Now the last field I want as a each cell to have a drop down list of version to select from, something similar to choicefield.
Is there any approach to go along??

Thanks in advance!!

You can use TemplateColumn. Here you have the simplest mockup I can think of . Of course you need to change template to something more useful.

countries = [
    {'name': 'Australia', 'population': 21, 'tz': 'UTC +10', 'visits': 1},
    {'name': 'Germany', 'population': 81, 'tz': 'UTC +1', 'visits': 2},
    {'name': 'Mexico', 'population': 107, 'tz': 'UTC -6', 'visits': 0},
]

template = """
<select>
<option{% if record.visits = 0%} selected {% endif %}>0
<option{% if record.visits = 1%} selected {% endif %}>1
<option{% if record.visits = 2%} selected {% endif %}>2
</select>
"""

class CountryTable(tables.Table):
    name = tables.Column()
    population = tables.Column()
    tz = tables.Column(verbose_name='time zone')
    visits = tables.TemplateColumn(template)
