Assuming you are talking about the size of a dashboard element, you set the size in the size parameter.

The width is effected by the `width` set in the `Group`

If this is not what you are referencing, you need to explain your issue with more detail

Dear Zenofmud, first of all, thank you for your interest, what I am referring to is resizing, for example, buttons, charts, etc... or any element in the layout editor

Click on the node and then click on the `size` option and you can set the height and width of the node limited to the groups size.

The image you have shared is a bit cropped so can't say for sure but if you have groups wider than 30 units, the layout tool may fail. It is known issue with as far I know - no solution found.  
If so, you can only use node editor panels to adjust sizes.
