Description
Steps to reproduce
1.Description: Nextcloud 34.0.2.1, Tables 2.2.1. When editing an existing selection column in the web UI (e.g. adding a new dropdown option), the frontend sends back the option uuids it received from the server. SelectionOption::createFromInputArray() is called without $allowPassingUuid, so the request fails with InvalidArgumentException('It is forbidden to set the Uuid from external'), surfaced as HTTP 500. Workaround: accept echoed uuids in createFromInputArray()

Expected behavior
Open table ---> Edit column properties ---> Add another option to a drop-down menu --->> Save edited column
Actual behavior
Open table ---> Edit column properties ---> Add another option to a drop-down menu --->> Save edited column --> Column properties not updated, error in log

Research direction
Start with apps/tables/lib/Model/SelectionOption.php:34 and trace the call from apps/tables/lib/Service/ColumnService.php:477 during the PUT update request. Reproduce the UI edit with an existing selection option, then verify that saving a newly added option succeeds without the UUID validation error or HTTP 500.
