Hi

Currently the words "This field is required" wraps over 2 lines. I would like to change settings to get the text on one line. There is plenty of width so it will fit.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I checked one of my forms (see attached screenshot), but the text "This field is required" is on one line there. Maybe I misunderstand which text you are referring to. Does that text occur in any other context?

It follows the width of your field.
Have a look at my picture.
It's in Danish but you will get my point..

Please see the attached for clarification...

Note that the word "required" wraps to the 2nd line.

The space available on the first line may be borderline. Have you tried reducing the padding for those fields, maybe in conjunction with a (small-) increase in form width...?

Hi Per

Where in the CSS can I find these settings? I have made so many customisations to the form to get it to work the way I want that I am reluctant to go back to the form builder software and regenerate the code.

Thanks, Keith

I see what you're saying, - been there, done that... :)
You could always save your current form under a different name and use that as test form to experiment with. When you find something that works, you can go back to your 'real' form and make the necessary modifications.
