Is it feasible to select other kinds of widgets for a cell other then a text field? Like date and select lists. I assume it's difficult since this is an obvious thing to do and it's not there.

As an alternative can I modify the cell widgets myself using hook_form_alter? I've tried to use this to disable the column rebuild but it causes problems.

Even more.

If possible to put a configuration of field type for each cell (or at least column/row defaults).

That's a very interesting feature request. I haven't dug into it yet, but I bet it's possible. I'm a little scared of the complexity of serializing data, populating the widgets, etc.

Let me know if you come up with any possible solutions, either form_alter or a module patch.
