Hi Joe, Sorry for the confusion. I'm talking about table fields on forms, and the properties of the associated column fields.
In particular, if you select a column field (of a list type table) in the Dev Studio, the in the Properties window under the "Display" section there is a "Data Alignment" property with three options: Left, Center, and Right. Adjusting this property does not seem to have any effect - the data in the column seems to align based on the default for the data type of the underlying field. So, character types and date/times are defaulting to left aligned, and numerics (well, integers at least, I haven't tried on reals) are defaulting to right aligned. These properties are new to me, since I've only recently started working ARS versions greater than 7.1 (which didn't allow for the adjustment of alignment in columns). Given this, I would figure that these options are specific to the web UI and not for the old heavy client (User tool). However, I've tried using both Chrome and IE11, and it doesn't work on either. Does this clarify? If not, I'll try to assemble a screenshot that makes sense that's < 250KB, though I think that'll prove a challenge.
