Being able to open the drop down menus instead of them being greyed out

Actual result

They have the diagonal lines through them and they cannot be clicked. So they are 'greyed out'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the disabled options in the world generation menu using OpenTTD 15.0 and inspect how the original generator disables those dropdowns. Done means the disabled options provide a tooltip explaining why they cannot be selected, with the behavior verified in the affected menu.
