I had not deduced the need for the cell to be copied. I am still somewhat uncertain about the exact logic here. I thought that perhaps the dataSource would be queried for cells that don't support the designated NSTableColumn value binding but that doesn't seem to be the case. Calling -reloadData after I have updated the model in the NSButtonCell action doesn't cause the cell to be redrawn correctly for what ever configuration I have adopted. What does work is: 1. in - outlineView:dataCellForTableColumn:item: construct my popup cell when required. 2.in - outlineView:willDisplayCell:forTableColumn:item: select item in popup cell according to model. In step 1 I construct my cell and select the item that corresponds to my model. This selection is not respected when the cell is drawn unless I implement step 2. I don't quite understand this as the cell is being configured on a per item basis. Anyhow, it seems best to leave all configuration of the cells state to step 2.
