ComboBox dropdown resizing issue with lengthy values

[#1]

I’m running into an issue with the ComboBox in JMP. The dropdown width is automatically adjusted based on the longest value in the list. Since I’m loading data from a database, most values are short, but a few are very lengthy. When those long values are included, the entire dropdown becomes excessively wide.

I haven’t been able to find any documentation on how to control or fix the dropdown size. Is there a way to set a maximum width or otherwise prevent the ComboBox from expanding too much when one value is lengthy?

// Example ComboBox with mixed-length values
New Window( "ComboBox Size Issue",
    <<Background Color( "white" ),
    V List Box(
        Text Box( "Select an option:" ),
        Combo Box(
            {"Cat", "Dog", "Bird", "Elephant", 
             "ThisIsASingleVeryVeryVeryLongValueThatMakesTheDropdownTooWide aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbb"},
            <<Set Function( Function( {this}, 
                Show( this << Get Selected ) 
            ))
        )
    )
);

I'm not sure if you can force the max size of combo box so you would have to first shorten those values.

Truncating the data would be costly since the data is in the thousands.

Have you tried how costly it would be if you do it in JMP either with Transform Each() or with formula column/transform column only on unique values?

You can "force" Combo Box width at least with Lineup Ruler Box + Lineup Box

Names Default To Here(1);

nw = New Window("",
	Lineup Ruler Box(
		Widths({100}),
		Lineup Box(N Col(1),
			Combo Box({"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"})
		)
	)
);
