Show Value List or RegEx Pattern for Constraints in Overview list (e.g., as tooltip)

🚀 Feature Request

Summary

In the constraint overview, constraints that use value lists (= "... is/is not in the list of [terms]") or regular expressions (RegEx) currently only show the beginning of the list or pattern. The full list of values or the complete RegEx expression is not visible, which makes it difficult to understand the constraint at a glance. Users have to open the full constraint editor via “Manage Constraints” to see the complete content.

Problem to Solve / User Story

As a user reviewing constraints with value lists or RegEx, I want to see the full list of allowed values or the entire regular expression directly in the overview (e.g., as a tooltip), so that I can quickly understand what the constraint does — without having to open “Manage Constraints” every time.

Currently, only the start of the list or pattern is displayed, often cut off (e.g., ['provided image', 'provided_i…'] or /^https://...). This leads to unnecessary clicks and delays when verifying constraints.

Proposed Solution

Add a tooltip to the constraint overview that displays the full list of values or the complete RegEx pattern when hovering over the constraint.

Alternatively: show a compact icon or indicator that reveals the full content on hover or click.

Benefits

Saves time when managing many constraints

Increases transparency and clarity of each constraint

Reduces unnecessary navigation

Possible Drawbacks

May increase UI complexity slightly

Additional Context

This issue is especially relevant when working with long value lists or complex RegEx patterns, where the truncated view hides critical information.

Requirements or Dependencies

Access to the full value list or RegEx at render time

This is related to the existing feature request “Show XML path for constraints in overview list (e.g., as tooltip)” — both aim to improve visibility and transparency of constraint details directly in the overview.
