to add a little more detail to this. i am referring to a field that has a character menu attached to it. the character menu (drop down list) contains yes, no , or maybe as the selection. i added $menu$ to the field properties attributes so only items in the drop down can be selected. the only remaining problem is that users can still type stuff into the field box. how do i prevent that?

If it is a static menu, you can change it to a Drop down list
