This may not make sense, but basically I have a gui right here.
I would like the frame to automatically scale it’s self depending on the length of the text, I’ve seen it in studio before with no code required. How do I do this?
Examples:
shorter text
longer text
my gui descendants
if you could edit this file itd be great, if not please let me know how to create this effect!

Perosnally I would use code with this TextService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
But seems you can do it without code too indeed Size modifiers and constraints | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
Cant help editing the file rn but if the problem still presist I could probably add it to the file another day
There are three different visual instances here:
Because we know that both the parent frame and the text are able to change size in the X direction, their AutomaticSize property should be set to X, and their size should be 0 in the X direction.
We then insert a UIListLayout to make sure the exit button is on the right side of the text element (which can be achieved by having a higher LayoutOrder).
We then insert a UIPadding instance into the TextLabel, and adjust the values to get the spacing seen here:

How would I work this with auto-scaling, I need to ensure that on both mobile and computer my gui is the exact same size
I’m not sure what you mean, can you elaborate?
how can i scale this for all devices but make it work as normal
AutomaticSize doesn’t really work well with the scale property, so we can use an alternative measure using UIScale.
Parent a UIScale instance to the entire screengui, then, with a script, adjust the Scale property depending on the clients resolution.
For example, if you designed your UI in 720p, if the users resolution is 1440p, the scale value will be 2 [1440 / 720 = 2].
