preencher dinamicamente ChoiceBox da coluna editável no TableView

Basicamente, o título da pergunta diz tudo. Eu tenho uma coluna de strings (chamadatype) em uma visualização de tabela e uma coluna correspondente de números (chamadasize), cada linha representando um objetoCargoItem, que tem as duas propriedadestype esize. Ambas as colunas são editáveis. O TableView está associado à lista observável correspondente deCargoItem, chamadocargoList.

Um ChoiceBox é inicialmente definido para a lista observável. Eu tenho um ouvinte conectado ao ChoiceBox, para que ele possa atualizar um TextField com o atributo de tamanho correspondente. Isso funciona bem: se você digitar um novo valor em uma célula na coluna size, o valor correspondente no TextField será atualizado (depois que o item ChoiceBox for selecionado).

No momento, se eu editar uma célula notype coluna, os itens na ChoiceBox não serão atualizados. Eu tenho um botão de diagnóstico que verificará se a lista observável está sendo atualizada corretamente. Eu acho que preciso colocar um ouvinte nas células da coluna de tipo, mas não sei como.

A seguir, é apresentado um exemplo de trabalho mínimo, com 4 arquivos:Table_test02.fxml, CargoItem.java, ControllerTest.javaeTestApp.java
