Adding more drop-down options

I need assistance with allowing more than the allowed amount of options that are referenced in a drop-down menu. 

 

Background:

 

I have a reference field in a table that is referencing options in a different table to display in a drop-down menu. I have found out that if I go over a certain limit of options the field turns into a 'search for record' instead of a drop-down. How can I modify the maximum amount of options that appear in a drop-down?

I want an actual drop-down menu with the arrow on the right side. Not looking for the search option like you are showing above. 

HI @mclaug3 

 

Please share some screenshot to understand better.

Please see the Weapons Sys field. I want that to be a drop-down instead of a search. We figured out that it changes to search b/c of the amount of choices in the table it is referenced to.
