Sharepoint Form Width for List(Sharepoint Online)

The width on the default sharepoint form has changed automatically on my sharepoint site.  How do I revert the change?  Previously the form was on the right hand side of the screen and was about 1/4 of the screeen, currently it takes up 9/10 of screen.  The form only has 8 fields.

    How can I make the form bigger? I have a three column form but its really small and all the way to the right when opened. I'd like it to open over most of the screen. TK787

        I was able to resolve an issue opposite of what was described here but I think the solution might apply in both cases. My problem was that the Sharepoint list form only used about 1/2 of the screen and I wanted it to use 90% of the screen. It took me a while until I found this setting:

        • List Settings > Advanced Settings > Dialogs

        This was set to "No".  After I set it to "Yes" the list forms begun filling up the screen like I wanted, instead of staying narrowly in the right.

  • Was your form customized with PowerApps or with JSON Form Formatting?

      Hi Beau Cameron , I am facing the same issue. I have applied JSON formatting for my forms . Is there any issue if I apply JSON formatting. All of sudden the width got changed.

      Beau Cameron I am also having the same issue as the OP.

       

      Yes, I went into Power Apps but did not save anything (or at least that is what I thought). Now, the form is way too wide and I cannot see any way to correct this. Unlike the OP, there is no custom JSON showing within the form in Lists.

       

      How do I revert the form to the default size? Any advice you can provide would be appreciated.

      There was some JSON formatting that I deleted that resolved the issue. I did not customize the JSON formatting is there a setting/bug that would automatically create JSON formatting?

      Thanks for the help.
