I am aware that lightning:datatable does not support picklists.

The approved attributes are:

• action
• boolean
• button
• button-icon
• currency
• date
• date-local
• email
• location
• number
• percent
• phone
• text
• url

With that said, I have a need for a picklist value to be visible and editable in my datatable (as I am sure many other people have run into). My question is - has anyone found a good workaround for this blocker yet?

My workaround thought is to use the action button and have a drop down of either hardcoded values or queried values. I am not entirely sure if this is possible as I don't see in the documentation any where that you can define a "default" value like you can with lightning attributes.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

({
    doInit: function (component , event, helper) {
    component.set('v.columns', [
        {label: 'Name', fieldName: 'Name', type: 'text', editable: true, typeAttributes: { required: false }},
        {label: 'Owner Name', fieldName: 'OwnerId.Name', type: 'lookup', editable: true, typeAttributes: { required: false }},
        {label: 'Type', fieldName: 'Type', type: 'action', editable: true, typeAttributes: {rowActions: actions } {defaultValues: 'value1', 'value2'}}, //PICKLIST
        {label: 'Tier', fieldName: 'Tier__c', type: 'action', editable: true, typeAttributes: {rowActions: actions }{defaultValues: 'value3', 'value4'}}, //PICKLIST
