Right, this is something to be improved.
We have a special reusable component used to display attribute with
values. It truncates the values, in different ways to fit to the UI
without cluttering it.

What I can propose:
a) currently attribute's type description (if present) is added as a
tooltip for all the values. We can assign it to the attribute name only
and on values add the full text representation.

b) in selected cases (as those two that you mentioned) we can change the
UI to put the full representation.

With proposal a (if I understand it correctly) users have to go through multiple truncated attributes (if there are many) one by one and wait for the tooltip to appear, I'd prefer proposal b instead to show the whole attribute value(s), ideally without cluttering.


If you have any better ideas please write,

Perhaps enhanced b with toggle behavior, that is, expanding the value by clicking the [...] or [>] or [+] and hide back after the second mouse click, do you think it make sense and/or technically feasible. However, other ideas from the subscribers of this list are most welcome.

Cheers,
Shiraz
