Note: Only one style per cell label is supported when using the Device Application Designer. For example, you cannot create labels like "Name: Label" (with bold and regular text in a single label). You can use custom coding to have multiple styles in a single label, or create multiple cell labels. If you create multiple cell labels, the cell labels are in separate columns.
