Great idea. I fancy the same problem and would love to see this feature available in Universal. Would be a great addition for the user interface
Yes, this would be great!
Now users always directly need to scale the task after it opens. This makes for unpleasant user experience when the columns need to be wide.
One trick we use is setting the ‘Next group’ setting to yes. This makes the column somehow wider.
There are some "tricks” to play around with this:
You can increase the "No of columns in form” setting of the task in combination of logical grouping/pairing of the controls.
A separate group is created from the control with the "Field on next tab/group” setting is enabled.
The group of controls is spread over the available columns before a new line underneath is added. When multiple controls are placed side-by-side (not by setting the "No of positions further” on 0) the popup will grow.
By positioning a single control in a group, where other groups contain multiple, it will become as wide as the popup.
I hope this helps to format your task dialogs better.
