I forgot to state in the last message:
->setIsArray(false)
This is the key here to turn a field into a drop down select statement. The
default creates an array based name select input which leads to a multi
select input:
->setIsArray(false)
<select name="my_select_field" id="my_select_field">
->setIsArray(true)
<select name="my_select_field[]" id="my_select_field" multiple="multiple">
