[I] [Feature Request]: Button to expand "Project Variables" fields (longer messages) (hop)

CarlosJuncher03 opened a new issue, #6530:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/6530

   ### What would you like to happen?
   
   Objective
   Add a control (button/icon) to expand/collapse variable fields on the Project variables to set screen, allowing for easier viewing and editing of long values (logs/errors/warnings).
   
   Context/Problem
   
   Currently, the Value field (and/or the entire line) has a fixed height. When the user uses variables to store log, error, or warning messages (multiline and/or lengthy), the following occurs:
   
   poor readability (text becomes "cut off"/compacted);
   
   difficult editing (line breaks, horizontal scrolling, loss of context);
   
   increased chance of error when copying/pasting and reviewing.
   
   Premise to validate: project variables are being used as "containers" for long messages. Even if this is not the "ideal" use, the UI should support this scenario well because it is recurrent and legitimate in practice.
   
   Proposed Solution
   
   Implement a button to expand by row (or by cell "Value"), with "drawer"/"expanded editor" type behavior:
