Is there any way to increase how many characters can be allowed in a label? My client has some questions that are longer than what it allows.

Thank you.

I believe they are a fixed number of characters, but might be able to alter that in the code itself. Not sure how that would be done, but....

You can also utilize a Plain Text Box and put the main information in that box (which will not show in the email response). Here's an example:

In order to know if the Plain Text Box will work, we need to know if you're using a Radio Button element or Check Box element. When you use a Plain Text Box you can include all the information about the question in detail and then right after that you put the actual form element you're planning to use with an abbreviated sentence as the question.
Using a Radio Button or Check Box?
[ ] Radio Button
[ ] Check Box

In the above example the sentence "Using a Radio Button or Check Box" at the end there is the actual element question with the selections. The Highlighted area would go into the Plain Text Box which would be there basically to lengthen the question area. This information is not passed on to the reply or response emails nor will it show up if you have the form results show on the site page after submitting it. This is basically just for show and nothing more. Just be sure your actual element question has enough information in it that it's recognizable in the emails and that should work great. :)

I figured that was going to be the solution. I will have to do it that way then. But hopefully the ability to adjust character length will be included in an update.
