Description
Currently the number of significant digits for large (abs value > 1) and small (abs value less than 1) numbers is hard-coded to 4 and 2, respectively. It would be nice to have an easy way in the UI to increase the resolution to show more digits (and to be able to more permanently change the default in the workspace settings).

Research direction
Start by locating the data explorer UI and the code that currently applies four significant digits to large values and two to small values. Trace how workspace settings are represented, then define the button and default-setting behavior; done means users can adjust displayed precision and retain a workspace default.
