Long property and multiple choice strings of WDX
If the property name or the multiple choice value of a field of a content plugin is longer than about 32 characters they are no longer distinguishable in the change plugin attributes dialog if more than one field starts with the same property or multiple choice string. Can you either allow horizontal scrolling in the property or value control or make the dialog resizable to make the strings completely readable?

Alternatively the list width should be determined from the longest property or multiple choice string, respectively.

This is still an issue. Today I actually prefer a resizable change plugin attributes dialog.

You also could increase the width of the dropdown lists. This will be of help for the property dropdown list, but I am not sure if it will be also possible for the right aligned value dropdown list.

Try to use a shorter string. If I change that now, plugins will be released with longer strings, which then make troubles with older TC versions. Especially companies often have to use a certain older version.

Thanks for commenting this. The mentioned plugin with long strings is actually already released. So new TC should support this in my opinion.
Anyway, I will make strings unique in first 32 characters for next update of the plugin.
