Hi @shyamkumar VK,

Unfortunately, that did not work.

Please check below that the UI is not able to show when the selected dropdown value is longer than the field itself.

1. Dictionary setting increase to 100

2. Select and saved Choice

3. In form UI trimmed working "are unaffected"

@Vincent Wong1  , I See your Updating the Subcategory Field length with that you wont be able to increase the Choice Label Length 

As said about you need to go to Sys_choice Table and open any record , right click on the table to go to dictionary and make the max length to required number (Dont keep large number)

I'm adding link below to navigate , just you need to add your instance name before

/sys_dictionary.do?sysparm_referring_url=sys_choice.do%3Fsys_id%3D71c14d909004021087de3cfccdb0d602%4099%40sysparm_record_rows%3D13581%4099%40sysparm_record_target%3Dsys_choice%4099%40sysparm_record_list%3DORDERBYname%4099%40sysparm_record_row%3D1&sysparm_view=&sysparm_query=name%3Dsys_choice%5Eelement%3Dlabel&sysparm_query_encoded=name%3Dsys_choice%5Eelement%3Dlabel

Hi @shyamkumar VK ,

No effect after making the max length from 40 to 120.

@Vincent Wong1 , That's because of the Split between Rows , I have moved this to below Short Description field and it worked 

Also even if its below Category in the Split , if you click on Drop Down it shows complete Choice Label
