Hi ?B?cGxmMTAw?=,
I've created a drop-down field form list but some of my entries are longer
than the allocated number of characters i.e. my options are truncated when
viewed in the form. Can anyone suggest a way to extend/increase the number
of characters allowed for each entry?
Similarly, is there a way to increase the number of allocated characters
allowed in the description in the help section of a text form field?
No and no. But there is a Knowledge Base article that describes how you can
use a macro to work around the problem(s):
