Allow 1024 character "Custom Groupbox" names

Viewpoint, This does NOT look professional! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mxxbOwvNgWNixLsrZ2-Et_WXhlIEuSLG/view?usp=sharing

I had to use a combination of field names and "Custom Groupbox" names to even get it to that.

The simplest fix for this would be to allow "Custom Groupbox" names to be around 1024 chars long.

A BETTER fix would be to allow us to add a standard "Text Control" to these forms which would be exactly that. Just text that sits on the form. Not a field. I'd expect it to allow a lot of text, and have a "right dragbar" to wrap if needed, similar to how the "Custom Groupbox" name acts.

Would you please consider this? I've seen this same idea posted multiple times.

This is useful to convey information that the person on the form needs to see each time WITHOUT selecting the control and then looking at the status bar.

Thank you!
