Hello,

> Because i dont know, where to put this question, i’m writing this in Lobby: Is it possible to create custom fields for the user edit mask, that are half-sized? Just like some of the default fields? The fields “email”, “phone” or “mobile” are half-sized by default. (There is a separate css class) I have created a new telephone field, which i want to have in the same size like the other contact fields.

i cannot post my solution there. I have found a way to modify custom text/tel objects to a half-sized text box.

You have to use the api to manipulate the custom field. There is an endpoint called “object\_manager\_attribute”. With a PUT-Request you can add the specific option “item\_class”, where you can set the value to “formGroup–halfSize”.

**Use it at your own risk, because you are manipulating objects on your system in a non-typical way!**

> **Summary**
>
> First get the ID of your custom object by calling the Endpoint with a GET-Request. If you know the id, you can edit the object by sending a PUT-Request to /api/v1/object\_manager\_attribute/{id} with the following minimalistic payload:

> "data_option": {
> "type": "tel",
> "maxlength": 120,
> "item_class": "formGroup--halfSize"
> }

> Then the text field is in half size like first name or last name.
