Increasing the size of the method input box in activity UI
We are new to Pega 7.3.1 and we have been using a lot of activities for more than 10 years starting with Pega 4.2.
Many of my colleagues would like to be able to have a wider input box for the method in the activity user interface. Coming from 6.3.1, they all noticed that we see less characters in the input box.
Since we have a lot of activities that make calls to other activities that have long and significant names, here is our question:
Is there an easy way to manage the size of the input boxes we use in the activity UI ?
Thank you and have a nice day !

There's no easy way =\
There're several ways to do that (but, please, DON'T, it's dangerous). Consider the following only as a what-you-can-do-in-Pega-but-never-do:
1. CSS injecting: use browser's Inspector to find an unique id for the element and then create custom css, which you will attach to the harness
2. Check, using LiveUI, the section which is using to show an activity rule. Find out the Skin's details and change it
For both options you need to make a private checkout of the internal Pega rules and save it. Each developer who want's this funcitonality, must do the same.

Thanks a lot ! This is what I expected. I was already going down that path and wanted to get a confirmation from an expert ! :-)
It's really too bad that all the users have to do a private chekout. Is there really no way to "trick" the system to override a "final" rule ? We have 50 programmers that would benefit from this adjustment.
Have a nice day !
