As I become enslaved to UR, I need certain features to improve. I use forms quite a lot to induce states and carry info that I report to others.

It would be good if fields in forms were shorted for the benefit of displaying whole names. So, for example, I have a yes/no attribute named "Content Created/Converted". (I'm a tech writer.) On the form, it displays as "Content C" with a eight-foot field with a tiny "no" in it. So, understandable names don't work if you want them to be used in forms.

Now you're going to tell me there's a setting to change the ratio of field-name length to field length in forms.

You can adjust the form label width. Extract and double-click the attached .reg file, then restart UR.

Thanks.

I imagine you've given some thought to the notion of providing much more direct control over forms. But it's probably one of those bottomless time pits.
