We like to have more control over field widths, because often you wish to give fields a absolute width
Examples:
When fields are on the same line it can have a mix of fixed and flexible widths.
It should be more easy to set this up in the Software Factory.

Could you clarify if you’re mostly concerned with fields becoming too small to display f.e. the entire Postal code, or more concerned about fields becoming too wide and causing an ugly display of the values?
In that regard: to what extend would it help you if you could set a Maximum width for Form columns?

+21Hi
There are various valid reasons to assign minimum and/or maximum widths to form fields.
Predictable input length
Fields like house numbers, postal codes, or dates typically contain a limited number of characters. Restricting their width avoids unnecessary space usage and improves visual clarity.
Balanced layout
When multiple fields appear on the same line, limiting the width of shorter fields allows more space for fields that require it, resulting in a more balanced and readable layout.
Visual consistency
Fields like "date from" and "date to" should ideally have equal width for aesthetic and usability reasons. Oversized fields can look awkward and mislead users about expected input.
User experience
Overly wide fields may suggest that more input is required than actually needed, which can be confusing or visually unappealing.
It would help us a lot to make screens more compact and efficient for end users
Modern HTML and CSS have no limitations on this so why not use them?
+21Below a very basic example, but it illustrates why it is desirable to give fields such as postal code and house number a fixed width and not let them depend on the screen size.
