Survey123 is not respecting my width parameter when published.

I'm trying to create a 2-page survey with a grid appearance. In my settings worksheet, I've chosen style = pages dynamic-grid since I have a lot of hidden questions.

When I preview my form, all looks good... but when I publish, S123 is not respecting my width arguments.

Here's a minimal reproducible example (attached) with an image of what I want on the second page (from the preview):

VS what I am seeing on the second page once published in the web app:

I swear this was working at some point and I don't know what's broken it. I'm leaving the second page as 'w1 field-list' because I have a number of other groups (with different columns for each, including repeats) that I want to incorporate later.

Thanks for any hints!

Not sure why but your page two needs a label.

Brutal. Wow! Thanks for that. I know I changed that at some point (I don't want any labels)... I was getting the warnings, but I didn't realize it could cause this serious of an error! Really appreciate the outsider view. I guess I can just put <b></b> for the label but I'd love to NOT have to have labels for things!

Try "<div></div>" for an empty label, if I recall I used some other tag and when I needed to use the web app the other tag caused issues and had to switch them all to that.
