I am using an editable dropdown as a interaction with an SQL query where clicking pulls all the rows under a certain column but can also be edited for adding new rows, it works flawlessly using a mouse but clicking the editable section does not bring up the on screen touch keyboard (keyboard works fine with text boxes and spinners), any suggestions?

The dropdown isn't currently set up in the right way to act as a touchscreen listener. You would have to add in your own listeners, probably by adding a mouse listener to `yourCombobox.getEditor()` that invokes `system.util.showTouchscreenKeyboard`. We should fix this first party, but you'll have to workaround it until we do.
