Dataform long table names won't fit in compiled graph and lineage view

Hello!

I'm using table name prefixes like `stg_`, `inter_` as recommended in https://cloud.google.com/dataform/docs/structure-repositories and table names become quite long. The problem is the names won't fit into boxes in the compiled graph and lineage view so mouse hover is needed to get full name.
Is it possible to make boxes larger or to wrap names?

Hi @AntonL

Welcome and thank you for reaching out to our community.

I get that it can be frustrating when labels are not fitting the bounding boxes of graphs as it somehow messes up the visuals, unfortunately Dataform currently doesn't offer options to adjust box sizes or wrap text in the compiled graph and lineage view. Consider shortening your prefixes or use aliases so you can assign shorter labels.

Hope this helps.
