Problem maintaining size of text box in Custom Group item

I have developed Custom Group items that contain a combination of radio button, text box, and essay sub-items. I would like the text box size to be 60 characters (instead of the default 30), so have set that parameter on the Edit Question page.

However, I am finding that if I make any changes anywhere within the Custom Group, that setting reverts back to the default of 30 characters (e.g., if I drop an item from within the group, or change the wording of any item within the group, etc.). This is very aggravating because I then have to manually reset the text box size every time I make another change somewhere else within the group.  (This does not happen, however, with the essay items; the size of the essay box remains what I have set it to be even if I edit other items.)

Is there a way to change the textbox size and make it “stick” even when I make changes to other items within the group? Or, is this a programming “glitch”?

Thanks.

Definitely sounds like a bug, I've reported it to the developers to look into to see why the default value is being written to the textbox size everytime any change is made. I'll keep you posted.

Good news! We were able to get that fixed up right away, have a good one (now works live for you without the silly overwrite)!
