Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

Currently the docs columns "Description" field is very small and requires the user to click into each description to see the full text. Since the field also shows a carrot to expand the user have no choice but to expand all columns to be sure they didn't miss any multi line descriptions.

It seems the Column field does resize, setting a fixed width for that field with a wrap for very long fields names might be a batter experience?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Increase the description width to auto so it uses all the space in the table as it is expanded. Ideally the carrot to expand should only show if the description is not already being displayed. Additionally when the description is expanded its not clear, there should to be more of a visual indication or element distinction so its clear you are looking at an expanded description. Perhaps change the background of the text area to a very light gray?

Who will this benefit?

Users who are using the documentation to understand what the data descriptions are.
