Discover Selected Fields - Display of Large / Long Values

[coderlol]

If the values for a given selected field share the same prefix and longer than what can be displayed, users need to guess.

It would be better to somehow display the full value. Perhaps, when users hover the pointer on a selected field, show the full value in a bubble or pop-up.

The "..." will expand the values, but may pop-up as an option could provide an alternative user experience. It feels like a popup would be faster to go through.

Showing the full field name on hover seems like a valid enhancement.

The only place I believe we do the ... truncation in Discover is in the field list on the left:

Note that if this is what you're referring to, you can enable Short Dots, which will reduce all labels before a . to their first letter, and only show the right-most value. Of course, this only works if your field names use dots.

I was actually referring to the field values and not the field names, but the enhancement should work well for both -- win-win ;)

+1, even though we have a mouseover label functionality right now on long field names, it takes ~2s for the mouseover action to occur.

Loggy has a nice design where you can drag the field panel to expand it and see the longer field names. This gives users control over how wide that panel is. That could be another solution.

Either way, not being able to see the field names makes the field panel kind of useless. I can't effectively search or filter on fields if I can't see the names.

Closing since this was implemented:
