Allow resizing of objects in Data logical views
Not planned
Problem: In Data logical views you cannot adjust the hight of a Data Object. The only way of increasing the hight is by adding 'terms' to it.
Workaround: Make objects very wide if they have a lot of relations or create an empty term with name: '...' and add it multiple times to the object you want to increase the hight of.
Why: In case an object does only have a few attributes/term but many relations to other objects it is very difficult to read the view and add multiplicity to relations (unless you make the object very wide). There will also be cases when you want to make a specific object bigger than others because it is the core object of the view.
How to solve: Develope the feature you release in Guiana.1 (April 24, 2023), when you added functionality to allow data objects to be resized width-wise, so it also allows resizing hight-wise.
How big is the problem: 3

Dear Zsofia Szalkai
We have implemented restrictions on vertical resizing of Data objects. This decision was made to ensure consistency in the size of data objects as we add additional terms.
However, thank you for your input. To manage expectations, we want to let you know it is not something we aim to update given other planned updates and areas of user-interest.Thank you in advance for your understanding and, of course, feel free to reach out if you have further questions!

Thank you for the feedback.
I have resently been using the work-around with adding an empty term multiple times to an object in a view (without adding any actual relations). This seems to be a good-enough way of resizing when necessary.0
