Description

Thank you for suggesting an idea to improve InfluxData UI.

is there a way to make minor UI changes to OSS 2.3 without having to fork the UI repo?
some of our field names/keys are quite long and the explorer box truncates them
I have come up with a crude work around by editing the HTML in browser (see attached). Is there a way of making that change permanent?

**Proposal:**
make field boxes resizable

**Current behavior:**
if the field name is long it gets truncated - data discovery becomes awkward

**Desired behavior:**
make the boxes automatically size to their content width if the screen is wide enough. Also add a click and drag function to resize

**Alternatives considered:**
make every influx db user change their schema to keep field keys/names short

**Use case:**
lets people discover data without having to hover over the field key to use the tool tip and see the entire field name
