You need to use a Dialog object with the drop-down in it, then populate the text field with the selected item.

For more info search the forum for "dynamic stamp". This issue has been discussed in detail. There's even an entire book written about it...

I'm searching the Drop-down Dynamic stamp but not yet getting this. I'm trying this script but not worked.

 

if (event.source.forReal && (event.source.stampName == "CustomDropdownStamp")) {

    var dropdown = this.getField("DropdownField");

    dropdown.setItems(["Approved", "Rejected", "Pending Review"]);

    dropdown.value = "Approved";

    
    var displayField = this.getField("DisplayField");
    if (dropdown.value) {
        displayField.value = "Status: " + dropdown.value;
    }

Fields on a dynamic stamp can only be filled with a script. So, a dropdown field cannot be placed on a dynamic stamp. 

To allow the user to enter values into a dynamic stamp, including selecting from a dropdown, radio buttons, or a checkbox, the dynamic stamp script must display a custom dialog box to the user. Custom dialogs are an advanced scripting topic. 

You can find out more about dynamic stamps and custom dialogs here:
