Expand text form field in dropdown box to allow more text

Guest

I have dropdown boxes in a Word template document. Default appears to allow
about 20 characters. Is there a way to expand the amount of text in the form
field?

Thanks.

Dropdown form fields have limits of 25 items and 50 characters per
item. You shouldn't be limited to 20 characters. But if you need more
in either direction, you'll have to use some other mechanism. See
