Is there a way to increase the length of text fields in InstallBuilder

All of the text fields in InstallBuilder appear to have default lengths that are rarely long enough to see the contents of data in those fields.  You can increase the width of the application window, but the fields do not automatically increase in size.  Even at the application's default window size, there is additional space to the right that could be use to lengthen the text field, but it is just empty space.  I have attached a screen shot to show you what I am talking about.  I hope in a future release of the product you will consider making these fields


1) use the available space in the window and


2) grow dynamically as the width of the page increases.


By the way, this goes for text fields in any of the popup dialogs.

I have added your suggestion to add extending of widgets horizontally and/or vertically to our bug tracking system.

Any chance this will make it into the product in 2021?

I figured out that you can set the appearance/width of each of the fields.

  1. Click on the parameter.
  2. Click on the Appearance tab
  3. Increase the Width to 100 (or whatever you would like)

It would be cool to set a default for all fields and have it automatically take on this default.
