Create a GUI (which aim to show and change a list of variables) dynamically based on the number of variables

Hello people,
I would like to implement a code that generates dynamically a UI.
In this UI, I would like to see and change (with a button) the values of a series of variables.
Let me propose you this example:
Variables.var1.value = 5;
Variables.var2.value = 10;
Variables.var3.value = "text1";
Variables.var4.value = "text2";
Variables.var1.label = "numerical variable 1";
Variables.var2.label = "numerical variable 2";
Variables.var3.label = "alphanumerical variable 3";
Variables.var4.label = "alphanumerical variable 4";
So, I would like to have a code that actually generates automatically the UI showing per each variable (1) the label, (2) the actual value, (3) a button allowing to change the value.
This is the UI I would expect:

Of course, if 10 variables are stored in the Variables structure, the generated UI should display 10 lines, one per each variable.
Many thanks for your help... I am completely lost!

@Donato Cereghetti: rather than putting numbers into fieldnames, and using nested structures (both of which are slow and awkward to access), you should store your data in a simpler non-scalar structure:
Variables(1).value = 5;
Variables(2).value = 10;
Variables(3).value = "text1";
Variables(4).value = "text2";
Variables(1).label = "numerical variable 1";
Variables(2).label = "numerical variable 2";
Variables(3).label = "alphanumerical variable 3";
Variables(4).label = "alphanumerical variable 4";
Then you can trivially loop over the non-scalar structure, or use the convenient syntaxes for accessing its contents via comma separated lists, and define the required parts of your GUI.

As Stephen already pointed out this becomes way easier if you index your structure.
%creating 'Variables'
Variables(1).value=5;
Variables(2).value=10;
Variables(3).value='text1';
Variables(4).value='text2';
for i=4:-1:1
Variables(i).label=['v',num2str(i)];
end
%actual code begins here
for i=size(Variables,2):-1:1
handles.label(i)=uicontrol('style','text','string',Variables(i).label,'position',[40 40+(i-1)*50 100 40]);
if isnumeric(Variables(i).value)
handles.value(i)=uicontrol('style','text','string',num2str(Variables(i).value),'position',[160 40+(i-1)*50 60 40]);
else
handles.value(i)=uicontrol('style','text','string',Variables(i).value,'position',[160 40+(i-1)*50 60 40]);
end
handles.pb(i)=uicontrol('style','pushbutton','string','modify','position',[240 40+(i-1)*50 60 40]);
end
for i=1:size(handles.pb,2)
handles.pb(i).Callback={@modify_cb,handles};
end
%callback for pushbutton
function modify_cb(hObj,~,handles)
label=inputdlg('Label');
value=inputdlg('Value');
for i=1:size(handles.value,2)
if hObj==handles.pb(i)
handles.value(i).String=value;
handles.label(i).String=label;
end
end
end

In case you need this many times you could also check out my dynamic settings GUI tool here: https://se.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/73180-matlab_settings_gui
You should just provide the input structure to it, and it generates all the ui elements for you automatically. It also handles the resize of the container GUI and generates scrollbar if you have too many ui elements.
