I’m sending a screenshot of the current representation where the label **Quantity** and the Field Quantity as well because as you can see up there its something like:

10 (with a lot of space between) u

whereas, I want something simple like **Quantity: 10 u** (without any spaces)

XML:

```auto
<label name="quantity"/>
<field name="quantity" symbol="unit"/>

```

Code:

```auto
quantity = fields.Float("Quantity", digits='unit', required=True, states=_states)
unit = fields.Function(fields.Many2One('product.uom', "Unit"), 'on_change_with_unit')

```

This is a regresion in latest 6.8 series that has been already reported on the issue tracker:

> **[Char with suffixed symbol are not left align (#12821) · Issues · Tryton /...](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/issues/12444)**
>
> This is because the input group has still a width of 100% when the inside input as a limited width.

Normally the symbol should be positioned next to the fields.

Your code is correct, once the issue is fixed in tryton everything should be shown as you expect.
