Screen layout and field width

[Martyn_Pearson]

Hi,

The custom fields for my project have long names, which means they are rendered wrapping over several lines. Is there a way to increase the width to minimise wrapping?

I've tried adding script to the description field, as per https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-change-the-width-of-the-custom-field-in-JIRA/qaq-p/873984 and have the following observations:

• On initial load of an existing issue, the width is not set
• When editing an existing issue, the width is not set in the edit box
• After editing an existing issue, the width appears to be set on return to the issue screen
• When creating a new issue, the width is not set
• When right clicking "Create" and opening the create screen in a new tab, the width is not set (although I note that in that case, the HTML rendered is different and the field name does not appear in a "strong" tag)

Is there a way of rendering the field names in a wider space consistently across all screens?

Thanks for your help!
