UI design advice - updating dynamic list of attributes

Hello,



I'm looking for some UI design advice that will leverage existing ExtJS components (or plugins); i'm trying to leverage the functionality of these components as they were intended and do not want to try to shove a square peg into a round hole.



The general requirement is that the user needs to be able to update multiple attributes for a given item, and each of these attributes have different possible values. So for example, client ABC has a country attribute (chosen from a list of countries), a "priority" attribute (yes or no), and a "market cap" attribute (large or small). All of these attributes apply to all clients, and new attributes are added often i.e. it can't be a static grid or form.



I tried using the cell-editing plugin in a grid, so each row in the grid was a different attribute and a dropdown showing the possible values for that attribute, like this:



Attachment 48365

That got tricky though since I believe that's not really how that plugin was designed; it normally expects the same dropdown/store for each row in the column.



If cell-editing is the best way to go for something like this then I will try to make it work, but i'm wondering anyone has any experience with something similar (since it seems like a fairly standard UI scenario).



Much appreciated,

Justin
