length of Component list column

The length of a column in a Component list is limited to 31 characters.
Is it possible to change this limitation to a higher value?
There are no such settings in the list settings dialog.

Hi Joachim,

I'm not sure what you mean by the limit of 31 characters (you say length, but I think you mean width)?

See attached - the Component Name column is over 40 characters wide there.

Longer text = wider columns

Thank You Karl.
The components and descriptors are defined in the GDL-object.
See the attached screenshot of the text-file listing.
The first line is the DESCRIPTOR, the second line the COMPONENT.
In the third column you see the 31 characters. If I define longer text lines in the GDL scrript, the charakters will be cut at no. 31.

I think I can change the component key with the component name,
then I will have longer texts.
