Long Custom Field Names / Labels (for a Survey)

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:48AM in SuiteCloud / Customization

What is a good way for overcoming the maximum number of characters in a custom field name (label)?  I'm creating a company survey using a custom record.  I was wanting to use the Name field on the record's question response fields to be the question. In this way, the question would appear as the label for the field.  Unfortunately, there is a character limit of 40 or 41 characters for the Name field.  Has anyone come up with a solution to overcome this limitation?

Here's what I've tried:
[LIST]
[*]Create a help field or inline html field to contain the question.  Then from the Edit Custom Entry Form > Fields tab, use "Same Row as Previous" to get the help field to be on the same line as the field containing the user response.  Unfortunately, NetSuite will not put a help field or inline field on the same line as another field.

Howdy, Stranger!
