Description
When we are searching for nodes (or creating groups), the value field is tiny, and most of the time we can't even see whole simple value (almost not even a full UUID!) - not speaking for regex.
We need that field to be much bigger by default, and perhaps force the whole value to always be fully displayed (even if it means going one several line - I don't mean textarea here)
- Status changed from New to In progress
- Severity changed from Major - prevents use of part of Rudder | no simple workaround to Minor - inconvenience | misleading | easy workaround
- Priority changed from 72 to 53
Objectively, this does not prevent use, it hinders it, so changing severity to Minor. We must be careful not to abuse severity levels - if we end up one day making some form fields bigger instead of fixing a bug that prevents Rudder working on, for example, SLES (also a Major bug - prevents use of part of Rudder), that would be a serious mistake, and users would blame us for it.
Well, you are right.
For post mortem, I set it to major because there was reported problem on groups due to the fact that the whole value was not seen, and so there was a typo between lines leading to a disaster. But for one, I should have tell that in the ticket, and for 2/, objectively it was a user fault and nothing to do with Rudder, which was only misleading. So "minor" is correct.

First just enlarge the last column to the width of the page.
And enlarge a little bit the 2nd one.
