v8.1.0 I have a column container with a bunch of labels and input fields, and for mobile I want these to stack and be centred; for larger displays, they will be side-by-side (label, input field) and I want them to then become left-aligned. I can’t see how to do this? ---

I’m pretty sure I get what you’re asking, but if you can mock it up/draw it out I think I can help you out. Couple questions: 1. Is the number of label/input pairs indeterminate in a repeater? 2. Is there a reason you can’t make each pair in a templated column container view, then put them all in a repeater with each instance’s basis set to auto 3. If you mean left-align the text then it’s a media query, but I don’t think that’s what you meant (thought I’d cover that base though) 4. Obviously this is taking up a whole phone screen vertically, but on a larger screen do you just want it to cover say the left 25%? ---

Sorry, I was talking about text alignment. I completely forgot about media queries, that answers my question 🙂 thanks!
