Any way to increase the size of dimension entry?

Is there a way to increase the size of the 'Value' field or show it as multi-line? I'm building expressions in Notepad++ and pasting them in, but if OnShape decides there is an error, scrolling back and forth repeatedly to find an error in a field that's limited to 20 characters is extra tedious.

Look into featurescript. It's easier than trying to use 1 liners.

Still would be useful to be able to pop out the expression field though...
Even a simple expression with a couple of variable requires scrolling back and forth!  Even just allowing us to temporarily resize the whole input dialogue (so we could make it the width of our screen) would go a long way!

There's an improvement request for it: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/comment/48300#Comment_48300

I ran into the same problem, then I noticed that if I created a variable in a Variable Studio, I could expand the width of the "Value" column to a comfortable size..  You're forced to use the separate tab instead of entering your expression in a sketch, but it gets the job done.  Looks like the improvement request hasn't attracted a lot of attention.
