Hey everyone!
I'm trying to change the layout of my catalog item variables using Container Start, Container Split, and Container End so my catalog will look like this:
I successfully managed to do this for the "Department" and "Other Department" variables since they are not part of a variable set. However, the "Requested for" and "Requested for Phone" variables, which are part of a variable set, appear correctly in the backend service catalog but not in the portal.
Can someone help me understand why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I tried using containers, but they are not effective when used within a variable set.

Make sure you have the layout set in the variable set to 2 Columns. You wont need a split there.

I did, but then it looked like this:
Eventually, I found it useful to use a couple of variable sets instead of one.
