Lets say we have a table, each row with a ComboBox containing the same allowed values.
It seems that each ComboBox generates its own DOM list (<ul> etc) for use, so for a table with 100 rows, you will end up with 100 extra lists in the background which eventually affect performance.
Is there a way to get the ComboBoxes to share the same list of available values? Or is there a more appropriate widget I should be using?

Hello Arthur,
Sharing one list between multiple widgets is not supported out of the box and I am afraid that I cannot suggest an easy workaround for this scenario.
Is it necessary to display all the widgets at the same time. Basically the ComboBox will be needed when the user attempts to edit the data. You may initialize the widget on demand only when it is needed. Take a look at Grid batch editing example where the editors are initialized on demand.
