Description

Description:
When creating a new project, if a user adds a field with the same name as an existing field, the duplicate-field warning message is truncated and cannot be read in full.

Environment:
Staging

Application (app version / build / OS):
App: Mergin Maps Mobile (Android)
App version: 2026.1.1 (build 776151)
Device/OS: Samsung Galaxy A53 5G / Android 15

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to the project creation screen.
  2. Add one or more custom fields.
  3. Add another field with the same name as an existing field.
  4. Observe the duplicate-field validation/warning message that appears at the top of the screening section.

Actual results:
The duplicate-field warning appears, but the text is truncated (cut off) and the user cannot read the full message explaining the problem.

Expected results:
The full warning message should be visible and readable (no clipping).
