Changing the field width from the queue’s right-click pop-up menu has no effect on the limit
of the text entered. That limit is still based on the field property set for the form assigned to
the queue. Consequently, when editing text in the Queue panel, the field’s properties for the
form assigned to the queue are in effect. When editing text in the story form, the field
properties of the story form are in effect. These properties—for the story and queue
forms—may be different from one another.
