About this task

A default width size cannot be set or does not apply to the following variables:

  • The break, container end, container split, container start, and label variables.
  • Any variable placed in a container with two-column layout.
  • A variable set with a two-column layout.
  • Any variable that is created with a custom width set in the Variable width field on the Variable form. For details, see Create a service catalog variable. The custom width for the variable overrides the default width set for the variable type.
