According to KB0539982, I can set my variable set to have different layouts, by setting the layout on the variable set and the order of the variables within the variable set.
I would like to have three variables displayed across 2 columns. I have defined the variable set layout and defined the order on my variables but the form is displaying as 1 column.
This is how I would like it to look:
So I have defined a variable 1 and a variable set with 2 column layout with variable 2 and variable 3. Here's how I set the order
But the variables are displayed in the portal catalog item with 1 column only
Have I missed something?

What layout did you apply to the variable set?

I set it to 2 columns. I tried both - one side and then the other as well as alternating sides.
Same result.
I had a look at the portal widget and that is where it is limiting it to one column. Fix now.

I didn't realize the portal widget could control this. Great job sharing your own fix.
