I want to be able to use smart containers to help easily organize lists by priority, but I can’t seem to find a way to customize the width of the smart container items.
Each of my items has an extended description that needs to be displayed and the standard width of the smart container items is not workable.
Is there any way to access these settings and change them?
Thanks,
Reid

Hi @ReidCrandall,
Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Here are a few remarks about the Smart Containers customization options:
All smart containers are automatically sized equally, which means all containers will match the size of the largest group. It’s not possible to manually adjust their height beyond that.
Although it’s not possible to manually adjust the width of the containers/shapes, you can adjust the layout of the Smart Containers by increasing/decreasing the number of columns. To do that, toggle on "Wrap Containers" or "Wrap Shapes" in the Context panel and adjust the column quantity.
When typing text into a shape that is longer than the container’s width, the text will be broken up and added to the line below to make it fit into the shape/container width.
To learn more about this, please check out the Smart Containers article from the Lucid Help Center!

I would also like to be able to adjust the width of each of the cards in a smart container.
Data driven charts and the autoformatting/alignment in smart containers is SUPER useful.
The big drawback is that every time I have enough data for a smart container to save me time, the shape density is important. It impacts how many elements you can have in a few window. Having 2 lines instead of 1 doubles the height of the element and forces me to resort to normal shapes to maximize information density. Hope it’s on the roadmap.
