Description

# Summary

The WORKFLOW TEMPLATE and CRON WORKFLOW dropdown lists in the Workflows tab need improvement to handle long text. Currently, when template or workflow names are long, the text gets truncated without any way to view the full content. This makes it difficult for users to identify and select the correct template or workflow.

We need to implement tooltips that show the full text when hovering over truncated names in these dropdowns. This would significantly improve usability when working with long template or workflow names.

## Use Cases

This feature would be useful in the following scenarios:

1. When working with templates that follow naming conventions that include detailed information (e.g., environment, purpose, version)
2. When multiple similar templates exist and need to be distinguished by their full names
3. When templates are generated programmatically with long descriptive names

Research direction

Start at the Workflows tab and locate the WORKFLOW TEMPLATE and CRON WORKFLOW dropdown entry points. Reproduce the truncation with long names, then verify that hovering over each truncated name reveals its full text and that similar names remain distinguishable.
