Additional context Needs to be fixed for 8.X Plugin-versions as well.

This cannot be fixed in the plugin, this is a standard-element of the UI Framework of ILIAS. the only thing we could do is shorten the texts inside the select, but this leads to loss of information.

Possible optimization options:

Moving the dropdown-element closer to its title ('Series ID').
Improving the responsiveness of this form: From large to medium widhts the width of the title column (e.g., "Existing Series") could be smaller resulting in more space for the dropdown.

thank you for your feedback! unfortunately, in my opinion, neither is possible. we simply use standard elements for the ILIAS forms here, so we cannot make any changes to the presentation of those elements.

if this were the case, it would have to be fixed in ILIAS itself, e.g. that forms are displayed differently in mobile view (or simply on smaller screens). one possibility here would be, for example, if the labels were not displayed on the left but above a field.
