I am trying to use the enumitem package to create the following
Farmer: It is a hard day today. The sun is
burning and we still haven't brought
in all the crop.
Farmer's Neighbour: Yes, it will be a long day!
Farmer: ...
I want the label to be right aligned and the text to wrap at that point too.
I tried the following solution (SetLabelAlignparrightparbox[t]labelwidthraggedleft#1, but then my label and text overlap.
documentclassarticle
usepackageenumitem
SetLabelAlignparrightparbox[t]labelwidthraggedleft#1
setlist[enumerate]
align=parright,
leftmargin=0pt,
labelindent=20pt,
listparindent=40pt,
labelwidth=20pt,
itemindent=!
begindocument
beginenumerate[label=Farmer:]
item It is a hard day today. The sun is burning and we still haven't brought in all the crop.
endenumerate
beginenumerate[label=Farmer's Neigbour:]
item Yes, it will be a long day!

For a list-by-list basis, you can use the options below between [..]. Notice that calc package is required to measure the width of the widest label automatically. If you need the same settings for all description lists, use this command
setlist[description]style=multiline, labelwidth=widthofFarmer's Neigbour: ,%
font=normalfont, leftmargin=labelwidth, align=right
in preamble.

If you want to keep the regular description list, you can define a new list, e.g.newlistdialoguedescription1and then usesetlist[dialogue]style=multiline, labelwidth=widthofFarmer's Neigbour: ,font=normalfont, leftmargin=labelwidth, align=right

Is there a way to dynamically update `widthofFarmer's Neighbour:? So the list can be reused?

This will require more work, in such a case, alongtableor just atabularmay be preferred.

@Jo- Not completely automatic, but if you define a new list, then for any particular instance of that environment you can just specify a new value for thelabelwidth, e.g.begindialogue[labelwidth=widthofFarmer's son: ].
