Hiw can I change the text box length on a screen in the new JIRA?

Question

I've set up new custom field on a screen (free text) but I need to change the size of the box.

I tried following this advice https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-change-text-box-length-on-a-screen-ui-in-jira-732399321.html but you need to go to "Announcement Banner" which is not shown anymore in JIRA.

Is there another way to solve this?

Hi JLuis - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Fields have nothing to do with the announcement banner. Those are separate objects. One note is that through the new Issue Layout functionality, you actually can determine where the fields show on the screen.

However, you still cannot control the size of the fields. I don't know the root cause, I just know that you can't do it.

Hello @John Funk

Why it is not possible? Is it because announcement banner is no longer available in Jira Cloud?

Can you please let us know the root cause about why it is not possible?
