width of a custom field in a screen mask

[Wolfgang Reis]

hi,

is it possible to configure the width of a custom field on a screen mask?

Not in the UI. You can edit the .vm files that generate the field areas to increase their width, but they are by *type*, so a change for one type affects all of them (e.g. you edit select-view.vm to increase the width of a select lists, all the custom fields that are select lists will be wider). You can start adding code with #if statements, but that gets messy, so I'd avoid it.
