Drop down boxes are too short

Hi guys,
I'm continually finding myself struggling with the length of the fields in SOAPUI. They don't seem to adapt or reflect the data they contain and therefore make it difficult to select the correct option when selecting from a list if similarly named items.

For example, I have a set of requests that are named (rather verbosely) after the request they represent. (This helps with my automated documentation later). When I try to do a property transfer using those requests I have a hard time finding the right one. (see my example attached)

This behavior occurs across the product. I feel this could do with some love in your next release!

Cheers,
- Richard

  • I agree with the topic starter. I have the same problem with my elaborate naming convention. Please adjust the length...
  • Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like a thing we should definitely fix to me. This has been added to our backlog [SOAPUI-2435].

  • Thanks for the response. Now we are at it, I have some other problems with the Property transfer window:
    - F2 does not rename
    - F9 does not clone
    - I can not reorder transfers (this really is a problem for me)
    But my biggest problem is:
    The default size of the window does not show the button to prompt for the XPath expression.
    I have to resize the window again and again to specify an XPath expression.
    Please just make it a bit wider by default!

    Thanks, the Property Transfer issues has been added to the backlog.

    Regarding the default size of the window though, I don't experience that. Could you provide foolproof instructions on how to reproduce it?
