Visual Reports: Column data charts no longer allow shortening to lengthen question text

In the visual reports, column data charts, you used to be able to shorten the columns to lengtheb the question text. Today, It isn't working, is the a specific reason

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

From what you described and from the screenshot, you are working with Visual Reports / Report Builder charts and you used to adjust the chart layout so that more of the question text was visible. However, the only recent documented change related to reports is that the Long Text field is no longer supported for chart display and can no longer be added to reports or used with the “Summarize with a chart” feature.

The available information does not mention any specific change to resizing or shortening columns/bars in column data charts or to expanding the visible question text. Because of that, there is no confirmed reason documented for why this particular behavior (shortening columns to lengthen question text) would have stopped working.

As an alternative, if your questions use Long Text fields and you need to display their content in a report, you can use a Table element instead of a chart. Let me walk you through it:

1. Open your report in Report Builder.
2. Click on the Plus icon in the top-right corner of the page.
3. Drag and drop the Table element into your report.
4. Click on the Table element, then click on the Gear icon.
5. Select your Long Text field in the Grid Settings tab, and then adjust the table size by dragging its corners and sides.

If your chart uses other field types and resizing still does not behave as before, there is no additional information available right now about a specific change to that feature.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

This isn't helping - the form was set up as an input table. (See below)

This is what I have done in the past in the report builder.
