Since a 'Text' field is open-entry, it sounds like you are looking for a dropdown field to choose field types?

a!localVariables(
  local!fieldTypes: {"Integer","Text","Dropdown"},
  local!selected,
  
  a!dropdownField(
    label: "Field Type:",
    placeholder: "-- choose --",
    choiceLabels: local!fieldTypes,
    choiceValues: local!fieldTypes,
    value: local!selected,
    saveInto: local!selected
  )
)

Are you looking for something like a picker, so that a few options show up once you start typing? If so, take a look at this recipe.

I'm not entirely clear what you're asking for. But with respect to Appian components, you're pretty much limited to either a dropdown field or a text field. For instance if you have a text field it's just that - there isn't exactly the ability to "add" a component of a different type to it, though you could put both next to each other. I'm also not entirely sure what you mean by "drop down button" - could you expand on that?
