How to make equation box smaller

Hi,

 

Mathcad Prime 10. 

So I have made this combo box to choose concrete value from a dropdown menu. 
I have defined all the value for a concrete class:

I then choose to hide left side, so I only have the input. It works super great!

The problem is, that since I have defined all the values from the tabel, I cant pick anything behind the equation. If I click here:

Then I hit the drop down menu behind:

This makes it very impractical. To make space on top or below will not look good, and be confusing for the user. Is there a way to work around this? 

The method is a upgrade from our old calculation where combo box was not a feature. Before we just had a matrice with callouts like this:

I could go back to the old solution, but I just really wanted to impliment the new feature, because it is so much nicer to work with. 

 

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Assign the output to a single variable, BK say, instead of a vector variables.  

 

Instead of writing your vector of variables as a column=vector, write it as a row-vector (ie, transpose).  Then define that values to be the transpose of BK.

 

If you don't want your end user to see this definition, you could put it in a Mathcad Area and collapse the Area, optionally password protecting it.
