Select and combobox
Select and combobox inputs provide a set of options for the user to select from.
Usage
Use a Combobox or Select field in a form if you have 3 or more options to display, or if the options are dynamic. If there are fewer than 3 options, use a radio button group or checkbox group.
In most cases, use the Combobox as the default for displaying more than 3 options. The Combobox input allows the user to select multiple options and search for options. However, if the desire is to use a native picker on a mobile device, Select may be the better choice.
New for 24.2: Now labels can use property references, making them dynamic; creating more personalized, engaging experiences.

Required
This will prevent any form submission until the required selection is made.
Readonly
Readonly inputs are typically recommended to use when they provide information that a user shouldn't edit, but makes sense in the logical order of the form. (e.g. A state input may be readonly based on certain business restrictions, but the street and province or state are freely editable.)
Disabled
Not recommended, has serious accessibility implications.
