Only allow dropdown entries

I have a field that is a drop down list. I want to make it so the user can only choose from the list. That way they would not be able to hand enter something. I don’t see that is an option from the field types at my disposal.
Is this true?
If so, does anyone have any suggestions on a possible work around?

Jim,

Unless I misunderstand your question, I think this would accomplish your objective:

  1. Use a ComboBox (not editable) using a Valuelist
  2. The “Allow Empty Value” check box of the Valuelist definition is NOT checked

Perfect. That’s it. That is exactly what I wanted to do. Thanks Michael for your help.
