convert dynamic drop-down to static

I created a simple form with a dynamically populated drop-down. But the initial load of the form takes approx 20/30 seconds. So I converted simple xml to advanced, with the intend of replacing the dynamic drop-down with a drop-down based on a lookup (the lookup table only has 10 values).
But I have so far un unable to find an example to mimic... I only see examples of mutiple drop-downs.Can some one please provide an example... or, given the advanced xml of my dynamically populated drop-down, tell me what needs changed?

  <module name="SearchSelectLister" layoutPanel="viewHeader" autoRun="True">
<param name="staticFieldsToDisplay">
  <list>
    <param name="value">*</param>
    <param name="label">ALL</param>
  </list>
</param>
<param name="search">index=winradius_ow | stats count by nps_storeNumber</param>
<param name="selected">*</param>
<param name="label">Select a location</param>
<param name="settingToCreate">nps_storeNumber_setting</param>
<param name="searchFieldsToDisplay">
  <list>
    <param name="value">nps_storeNumber</param>
    <param name="label">nps_storeNumber</param>
  </list>
</param>
<param name="searchWhenChanged">False</param>
<module name="ConvertToIntention">
  <param name="settingToConvert">nps_storeNumber_setting</param>
  <param name="intention">
    <param name="name">stringreplace</param>
    <param name="arg">
      <param name="nps_storeNumber">
        <param name="default">*</param>
        <param name="fillOnEmpty">True</param>
        <param name="value">$target$</param>
      </param>
    </param>
  </param>

The answer was to replace the module SearchSelectLister with StaticSelect.
