      Feature request to improve the visualization of item values in the Latest Data section.

      Current behavior:
      In Monitoring → Latest data, when an item returns a long value (for example the "system description" item included in Linux and Windows templates), the output is truncated in the table view.

      The full value can only be seen by hovering the mouse over the field, which shows the complete value in a tooltip.

      This approach becomes inconvenient when:

      • values are very long
      • users need to read or copy the content
      • frequent inspection of long outputs is required

      Request:
      Provide a more user-friendly way to view long item values directly in the table.

      Possible improvements:

      • Add a horizontal scroll bar within the value column
      • Allow expanding the value field when clicked
      • Add a "show full value" button
      • Enable row expansion to display the complete value

      Benefits:

      • Improves readability of long outputs
      • Makes troubleshooting easier
      • Reduces reliance on tooltips for important information
      • Improves usability when inspecting system description, logs, or other verbose items
