Hi @Vincent Wong1 ,

If I understood your question correctly you want to Increase the size of State(dropdown field) if so you need to follow below

 

right click on the label field >> configure dictionary >> you will see max length field , there you set the number more that that. 

 

if you want to increase the choice value length you need to go to the sys_choice table and increase the label field length

 

With same process as above

Note : Increasing the Length is Fine but don't decrease , it makes mess and Truncates the labels
