How do I make the Label Position Justified Wider

In the component configuration - if you add a text field, or record picker or whatever - under Label Position if you use Justified or Adjacent, the length for the label appears to be static

I want to expand it out as I have a pile of fields that are like 2 letters too long and I really don't want it to word wrap

How can I make it so that it either

a) doesn't word wrap the label or

b) allows me to select how much space I want for the label

I don't see any options where I have control over this

    I would love if they would add the option of setting the label width.

    In the meantime, the workaround (which I don't recommend) is to separate the label from the field by using a sideBySideLayout with a richTextField for the label and the label set as collapsed on the field.

    This cannot be changed. Alternatives are difficult because accessibility depends on the standard way.

    Indeed.

    I would suggest that you contact Appian to submit a feature request to allow to do this natively.
