How can text in staticTexts.add automatically wrap based on a specified width?

Question

staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "Doesn't the text inside automatically wrap to new lines?" });Doesn't the text inside automatically wrap to new lines? Setting the width doesn't seem to work either.I think I've seen people use jion(
) to control line breaks.

Adding `mutiline:true` directly to my original code didn't work. That’s because the DialogRow or DialogColumn StaticText class does not have a mutiline propertyhttps://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#StaticText.html#d1e593633 You probably can do it with the ScriptUI Classes—don’t confuse the ScriptUI Classes with the InDesign Dialog Class they are not the same. ScriptUI is here:https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#WindowSUI.html

Several times people have pointed out to you that you should use the multiLine property.See https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/scriptui.html for details and examples.
