Kinetic - Column width is large, but text box sizes (chars) remain the same and don't utilize the entirety of the width

[josephp (Joseph Pisano)]

Likely, falling under “dumb question” with an easy answer…

We’ve been down this road a few times with a few different layouts on many screens; has anyone found a way to force the fields shown within the columns to take up the entirety of the space so that more of the box (and text) shows? See example attached. We can widen these columns, but the character lengths of the fields stay the same; they are “full” already and don’t seem to expand to fill/no options for it.

Also, is there a way to set any given field so that the hover-over would work with it?

This is probably either really easy and we missed it, or just something super frustrating.

Nope.

You could try making them text areas instead of text boxes, then just set the number of lines to 1 (if you don’t want it to get any taller).

Not 100% sure it’s what you are looking for, but when I want a box to take up the entire width of a column I increase the width field in layout to a large number(I use 1024).

The field will then dynamically fill the column, unless the column exceeds the width you have chosen.

We will try this… thanks for the idea.
