Widgets ignores "cols" attribute.

[david html]

I have tried two different packages and it appears that the cols attribute for Widget doesn't recognise the "cols" attribute

example 1

class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.TextField: {'widget': AdminMarkdownxWidget (attrs={'rows': 5, 'cols': 100, 'style': ' font-size: 1.5em; font-family: HelveticaNeue;'})},
     
    }

rows and style work fine, cols doesn't change the admin form

example 2

models.TextField: {'widget': AdminPagedownWidget(attrs={'rows':20, 'cols':200,
                                                   'style': ' font-size: 1.2em;'
                                                    })},

I also note that in the documentation (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/forms/widgets/#textarea ) doesn't refer to the cols attribute so I wonder if it can still be changed

It works with builtin widgets e.g. forms.Textarea, so it's not an issue in Django but in 3rd party packages.

thanks for your fast reply.
could you please tell me how to test this e.g. without using the AdminMarkdownxWidget ? I mean replacing the admin TextField attributes. I did search in the manual but there is no example with cols. Also I am not looking to rewrite any css of the admin or using this in Django forms. Just to change it in the admin. I did try removing the widget AdminMarkdownx and it still doesn't resize.

You can just use forms.Textarea instead of AdminMarkdownxWidget.

Thank you, much appreciated. I can confirm that it was an issue with the external package
