I’ve created a few checkbox components and some of their labels are more than 2 words thus making the default width cut off some of my labels. How can I adjust the width of the label without having to change the width of the component itself in the property inspector? I’ve tried this and it messes up the checkbox itself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
