Dropdown list - allow selection of item ; block editing

Hello,

For a dropdown list - it's possible to allow the selection of an item from the list but block writing/editing?

Thank you.

The idea is to be able to open the dropdown list by selecting anywhere in the field - not only on the down arrow zone.

The user will only be able to edit the value if you allow them to do so, by ticking the "Allow user to enter custom text" box under the field's Properties. If you don't do that they will only be able to select one of the pre-defined items.

And no, only clicking the arrow will open the drop-down list.

Alternatively, you can use a button field that opens a pop-up menu, using a script.
