Combo box people picker limited to just 3 people

I want a combo box that when you pull it down it displays 3 entries that are people fields.  I have a SP group of 3 people and set that group as the "Choose From" setting on that column. 
I've made the SP Person column the source of the Combo box with items of 
Choices([@LMTS].Approver)    LMTS is the SP list name and Approver is the column name of the people picker.
 
I want a single select.  I can search and get one of the three, but can't display all 3 choices upon clicking on the
combo box
because the user isn't going to necessarily know the name of any of the three.
 
When I make other people pickers that aren't limited and click on the combo chevron it opens and shows the first 5 or so
people available to choose from, but using 
the group as the Choose From setting doesn't show anything.  it's not obvious what's going on.
 
If this can't be done (which I find hard to believe) is there a best practice way to do this.  I don't want people to
have to access the app to change the people in the list.
 
Seems like a pretty standard thing but I can't get it working and there seem to be no answers. 
I simply want to click on the combo box, see the three choices and allow the user to 
choose one of them.  
 
Thanks in advance

    Hi
     
    Please share a picture and also is Search turned on?
     
    Usually and it depends its not that it shows the first 5 you can choose exactly, if you are typing and search is on, its showing you the first 5 or whatever the match what you are searching for.
     
    Anyway, please use pictures to describe then I can help insure its what you need.
     
    Also the whole limiting to 3, again please make a picture and annotate what you want it to do is much easier and understandible for my brain :-)
