    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?

    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.
