How can I add a prompt or series of dropdowns to the existing inputdlg.m function in matlab?

I'm trying to make a user-input one-to-one assignment of variables, where each prompt is a variable in the first array and the inputs/assignments would be elements in a second array typed or selected by the user.

The title is used already for other information, but I can't seem to find a previous implementation online for adding/editing pre-existing UI functions.

Copy inputdlg to a new file name and edit the code including changing the function name. There is no built-in function for that purpose and there is no built-in hook to extend those functions.

If you do not mind the items being presented horizontally instead of vertically then uipanel might work for you as you can have a different drop down selection for each column
