I've got a fairly straighforward table of attributes. Each attribute object has a name and a set of possible values. I would like to enable the user to select one of the possible values from the Dropdown (or Tags, I don't care which) component, and then save the state of all selected attribute values.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to determine which value in the array of attribute values has been selected. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
A snapshot of the table is below. The "attr_value" column definition is shown, although I know it's wrong, but using ['0'] is the only way I've found to show the dropdown correctly.
Thanks for any advice!

Hey there 
I am not sure if I am fully following, let me know if I am misunderstanding but self should access the cell data and you can use {{ currentRow }} to access the row data:
I would like each cell in this column to a) display a selected value, and when you click on the cell b) display a list of possible values in a Dropdown component that allows the user to select another value.
So the question is, what should my cell data look like to do that? This seems like a straightforward problem that I'm sure you've seen and solved before.
I understand what the self and currentRow variables do.

Ah got it, thanks for clarifying! Sorry for my confusion there 
This is expecting an array of values, here is a screenshot where I have the default set to the first value in the array. Users should be able to select any of the values and the default will change:
Thanks, @lauren.gus . I now cannot see a "Dropdown" component at all, and only can use a "Tags (Dropdown)" component, which has completely different parameters. How would this work for this component?
I want to present the user with a dropdown selection, then use the selected value. If the column is called 'attributeValues', the data source is an array, the dropdown works fine. But when I try to use the selected item from that column (in a query, say), there is no way I can see to tell which item in 'attributeValues' has been selected.
I've tried setting up a copy in local storage of all attributes, and when they hit 'Save', I use an event trigger to apply the 'recordUpdates' to my table copy. But then the display is reset, and the selection is no longer shown in the table itself. I need the users to be able to change their mind in their selection.
Here is what I have so far:

Hey there I made sure to share your feedback on this new column type with our App Building team, these pain points are helpful to hear 
Currently, you should see these selected values in table.changeSet:
