I want the operator to know if they input a duplicate job number by showing a popup. I am able to make the popup work, but for some reason, I can’t change the size of the popup at all.

Button script:

```python
jobNumInput = self.getSibling("JobNumInput").props.text
    
    
    try:
        result = system.db.runNamedQuery( "Arms/ProductionData", {"jobNumInput":jobNumInput})
        
        if result.rowCount == 1:
            message = "✅ Job number inserted successfully."
        else:
            message = "⚠️ Job number already exists. No insert performed."
    
    except Exception as e:
        message = "❌ Error inserting job number: " + str(e)
    
    # Open the popup with the message
    
    system.perspective.openPopup(
        id="jobInsertFeedback",
        view="JobInsertFeedbackPopup",
        params={"message": message},
        title="Insert Status",
        modal=True,
        showCloseIcon=True,
        resizeable = True,
       
)
    
    # Table Refresh
    messageType = 'Refresh Table'
    system.perspective.sendMessage(messageType)    

```

Here is the popup:

Are the symbols in the message string causing problems? Try commenting them out.  
If those are valid Unicode characters then the strings should be prefixed by `u"...."`.

I think it’s just a typo. You have `resizeable` (with an extra **e** ) the actual parameter is called `resizable`.

I really did it to myself on this one. I had the incorrect path specified for the popup window.
