    Hi

    I have a requirement for a fieldset on Location to be fullwidth. So far have not found a definitive way to approach this. I would like the <item id="user-content-fieldset:Location:Detail"> to be full width but floats left and sits under the <col:col1></col:col1></item>

    describes the intent

    <details _delta="redefine">
              <items>
                <item id="col:col0">
                  <items>
                    <item id="fieldset:Location:Name">
                      <items>
                        <item id="name">
                          <rank>10</rank>
                        </item>
                        <item id="org_id">
                          <rank>20</rank>
                        </item>
                        <item id="type">
                          <rank>30</rank>
                        </item>
                        <item id="parent_id">
                          <rank>40</rank>
                        </item>
                        <item id="status">
                          <rank>50</rank>
                        </item>
                        <item id="fullname">

    The fieldset stretches to the width of your columns.

    So the question is: would it be acceptable to get rid of the columns altogether?

    Hi Jeffrey.

    I thought that might be the answer.

    Ideally we would like to keep the columns, but have the HTML Detail field span the full width.

    All of our staff have 2 x large screens so this would be optimal ;-)

    I couldn't find any way of resetting columns once set ;-(

    If you'd be willing to have the field on a different tab (but that has less visibility), you could move it to a different tab and have it full width there

    Unfortunately that isn't really an option. This is important information that should visible of the default page.

    Have a couple of ideas to test. Will report back ;-)
