Anyone who can advise me in my dilemma.
In the extension, we are considering the future relocation of partition walls.
If we're going to redo it, say in 10 years, we're not keen on replacing the entire ceiling to make it uniform.
I wonder if anyone has laid the entire ceiling first and then put up the partition walls?
It's common with gypsum, but if using ready-made ceiling panels like humonit Symphony.
Can you install the entire ceiling first with these, or is there a difference between gypsum, which is "dead," and these wood panels??

Yes, the attachment is important. But no difference do you think Matti on wood boards or gypsum in other words?
On a load-bearing wall, it might not be entirely successful to have ceiling panels between the wall and the floor joists.
Otherwise, it's probably fine to go ahead, I see no problem with having, for example, huntonit instead of gypsum between the inner wall's top plate and the ceiling.

It only concerns non-load-bearing interior walls.
What you should consider is that with huntonit and other ceiling panels, you will get a small V-phase between the boards, which becomes a small gap between the wall and the ceiling. A gap that allows sound and light to pass between the rooms. More sound than one often thinks.
So seal this after you have framed the wall. You can apply a little acrylic sealant there, preferably on both sides. But the sealant might be hard to remove invisibly later, so you can instead, for example, roll up a small insulation tuft quite tightly and insert it there, or a small piece of sleeping mat, or almost anything similar.
