Dear LyX users,
I am nesting description lists and want to justify the text within the
nested list.
I have attached my MWE, output and a copy of what I want the output to
look like.
I am using the module "Customisable Lists (enumitem)." with the
article class. When I right click on the description label, an options
box is produced. However, the options to go in the box (I get the
options from the enumitem package) are not producing the desired effect.
Warm Regards,
Anthony
Dear Anthony,
I am not sure that it is possible to adjust the width of the label
automatically. Have you tried any of these instead?

Best regards,

I should have read the thread more carefully to the end. Attached is a
tweaked version of your example.
Note:
1. The enumitem package is loaded by the enumitem module. (You don't
have to load the enumitem package manually.)
2. The Description Options you used only affected the leftmargin from
the second line of a description list onward. (It is not clear to me
what should happen in the second line from your MWE.)
3. In order to use LaTeX commands in LyX (those starting with \), you
need to put them into a TeX Code inset. (Insert > TeX Code or Ctrl+L /
Cmd+L.)
