I have posted a solution to extending text box screen sizes before, but for some, that solution didn’t work. So here is another solution to change or configure the field width on the screen. The simple answer is this. Export the XML and add a width attribute to the field. In the example, they changed the width to a table column. I’m curious to know if this works with all fields. Comment below if you have tried this on other fields.
Change the UI field width or text box screen sizes

The key to this is that you have to put the width=”n” as the last parameter on the line.
In maximo 7.1.1.7 there is a size attribute on fields
Oh nice, I’ll have to check that out.
That works great for most fields, but Size doesn’t seem to exist on fields that are in a table.
Hey, this worked great in 7.1.4, just put the width”n” at the end of line. Took some time to figure the right number to put in, thanks for the help.
works great.
Thanks so much for the link it has solved several issues for us
Doesn’t with multitext box on 7.1.1.6
How do you change the size og multitext boxes. I have tried using the Conditional Expression Manger, but not success.
Hi.
In the Example mentioned, ie Increasing the description table column in List view WOTRACK, it doesnt give the proper result when you filter the List tab.
The size property/attribute does seem to work in 7116 and up for multiparttextbox controls. width doesn’t work for these controls.
Try some UI textbox control to do this would be more convenient?
So here is my issue with 7.5.0.4. You can change the width of the table columns as mentioned below, width = “XX”, but the issue is with wrapping the text. There is a parameter webclient.wraplength which is defaulted to 75. You can change that, but it is one default for every field. If you have a field that you want to wrap at a different length (perhaps because you have a large number of fields on the table), you can’t. This is really inconvenient!
