Have you tried using the "Input Message" tab, where you can set a comment or
instructions for each individual cell in the validation?

I have created a drop down list to save from so much typing and I need to
be
able to also add other comments to the cell after I have chosen my item
from
the drop down list, but I get a popup saying typing additional data into
the
cell is restricted. Basically, I can only insert drop down items into the
cell. How can I unrestrict it?
