Does anyone have a hint how to customize field length in a dialog? A dialog opened via container-dialog. The one that pops on me has items with inadequate sizes.
Thanks

If you explore xml-form-1.6.xsd you will find attributes there for elements like text-line, text-area and all other types. With explanations. (a good XML editor will auto-suggest the elements and attributes as you type, using these .xsd files).
Some examples:
<text-line size="30" maxlength="50" />
<text-area cols="60" rows="6" />
You can also use 'field-layout' element and its sub-elements to set out your form.
(Assuming you don't mean length of a data field in a database).

This applies to simple field. What about drop-down? Can I customize its width and/or length? I foung an atribute size, but that did not work as I expected. – mrovnanik May 25 '16 at 10:11

What Moqui version are you using? If you are using the last release 6.2 or before you can use style="chosen-small" or chosen-medium, chosen-wide, chosen-wider, chosen-widest, as suits. As noted in the .xsd this is a 'hack' to fix a bug which I understand has been resolved in current commits. – Ronan Keane May 25 '16 at 16:43

I am using the latest release, it says 2.0.0. My attempt failed with a strange outcome. I typed the style="chosen=widest" into the drop-down setup. Nothing happened. I checked the source code of the page and I came accross this – mrovnanik May 26 '16 at 11:33

The last release was 1.6.2 around l\ate March 2016. You are using the next release (not yet released). I think it was around mid-April that I noted the style="chosen-xxx" work-around was removed. Actually I understand there are some major changes being made to all of this side of things. Unfortunately I am not yet familiar with these changes, so cannot help you here. – Ronan Keane May 27 '16 at 07:20
