Some relevant notes/links shared by the team:
- Need more context on whether this is increasing the view, ie adding the column to the view or is in increasing the field length e.g. number of characters.
- Consider using JSON custom column formatting to achieve your desired results (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting)
- Can be accomplished with a Power Automate flow – On New with IF logic
