Field name in form is truncated in Dynamics CRM 2016

I have created a custom entity and I have some new fields created. Ex: StudentCarrierTypeInformation (field name)

datatype: single line of text

I put this field on the form, and when I see this in the front end of the form, the field name is truncated.

It is like StudentCarrierTy. The rest of the name is truncated in the form.

I think its label has length only 20 I guess.

Is there a way to display the field name which is longer as I have above?

You can set the Field label width from Section properties. Default is 115 (shown below) and Maximum is 250.

After making changes to 250, If label text is still hiding - then use the Field label position in Formatting tab of Section properties.

Tooltip will show full text in any case.

I was able to fix this myself. I navigated to the the form and went to the field properties and edited the same to 200 pixels.
