A custom field needs to show a long explanatory question (well over 30 characters) to the user, but the field's own Prompt label is capped at 30 characters, with no obvious way to display the full question text directly on the form.

Answer

Rather than trying to fit the full text into the Prompt label itself, use an event-driven stopping message to surface it: build a Custom Event that fires when the relevant condition is met (for example, a specific combination of other field values selected but the answer field still left empty), and have its action raise a blocking message using Error_SYS.Appl_General(...) containing the full long question text. This forces the complete question to be shown to the user as part of a validation message precisely when it's relevant (the answer field is mandatory but unanswered), working around the 30-character Prompt limit without needing a dedicated always-visible text display element.
