The text box is only temporary, for importing the data. It's not for the working form.

There are other ways to do this using a script, for example, here's a paid for automation tool for doing it

If you are inerested in writing a script yourself, here's a page that explains scripting for the dropdown field.

There's also a way to do this from a VBA script in Excel using the Acrobat IAC
