Multiple Line Field - Label Question

Good Morning,

I'm realtively new to ServiceNow (less than 6 months). I have a multiple line field (length 1000 characters) that I want to edit the style to match the other fields on the User and Incidnet forms (the field in question is from the User form and is a Reference field on the Incident form). I have been able to manipulate the size of the text box, but have not been able to get the label text to change (see attachment). The label text is on top of box. I would like to reposition the label text to the left of the box for consistency.

I have checked the wiki, but all I can find is how to resize by changing the pixels. Is there a way to change the look of this field (move the label text to the left of the box) or at least have the label text match the size of the text box.

Fields with a length greater than 255 characters will always be rendered with the label on top and the input beneath. They simply go through a different "multi line" code path, and unfortunately there isn't currently a way to change that behavior. I'm actually a bit surprised your field style successfully modified the width on the form - I didn't think that would have worked.

Now if I can get the label to shrink....
