[GitHub] [airflow] umangs94 opened a new issue, #25992: Add an option to bring back multiline view for values in Airflow UI > Variable List
umangs94 opened a new issue, #25992:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/25992
### Description
The Variable List in the Airflow UI used to show the variable values in a multiline format. This made it easy to see the values without having to click into the specific Variable. So it would be great if an option could be added to bring back the old multiline view (<=2.2.3).
### Use case/motivation
We use multiple Airflow variables to maintain lists of table names (used in different DAGs), hence, I could easily do a Find on the page to see if a specific table was referenced inside any variable. After updating to 2.3.4, the Variable values in Airflow > Variable List only show a single-line of the Variable values, so the Find still works, however, now I can't see the variable that a specific table is referenced in as I can't see past the first few characters of the Variable values.

It could help actually. search in page could have found it. One thing is how you present to the user and what the page contains. It could even be a folded "full text" that you could reveal when clicked.
No - no guidance. We are developing a product not a custom solution If you need to customise it, you ar efree to do so (but then we only focus on making features for everyone not focusing on single user). If you can help and hash out a solution that can make it into a product - that's cool. But if you want to customise it, taking time of people who work on a product is not the best idea (but feel free to do it on your own time).

We could add tooltip showing full variable. While it is not the same, I think it has the nice property of having more consistent UI in "table view" (It is disturbing to get table values with changing row height), it does not need extra click - enought to "focus" (with mouse) on the variable in question. Bonus if we could make copy&paste work for full value as wel - even if we only show a truncated version.

I believe this was removed for better UX. I don't think adding multi-line is good for UX if the value becomes too long. @potiuk What do you think?

I understand the reasoning but it would be great if an option could be added to have the old UI back.

Unfortunately, a tool tip wouldn't help with being able to find text on the page across all variables. It would be great if we could see the variable value's full text like how @spatocode's screenshot shows it.
If an option for the old UI is not possible, then can you point me in the right direction so that I can modify my local installation?
