Hello, I used to have 2 fields: one read-only without a menu, and another one read-write with a menu, aligned exactly in the same place. Then you put an active link that copies information from the background field to the foreground field when the menu from the background field is selected. This way your end-user can never fill in data directly in the foreground field as it is read-only, but can however select the menu attached to the background field.
