      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Login with the user having Administer projects permission on the project
      2. Go to the Project settings>Details and try to change the project type

      Expected Results

          <div class="aui-ss aui-ss-select aui-ss-has-entity-icon aui-disabled" id="projectTypeKey-single-select">
        • Remove 'disabled' from: 
          <input autocomplete="off" role="combobox" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-expanded="false" class="text aui-ss-field ajs-dirty-warning-exempt" id="projectTypeKey-field" type="text" aria-live="polite" data-lpignore="true" aria-controls="projectTypeKey-suggestions" disabled="">
