Hi Joeri,

No - currently it is not possible to change the height of the dialog show by the extended show dialog action.

However, i think it technically could be made possible with some plugin changes.
Alternative to providing an option to specify the desired height of the dialog, we could probably also look into ensuring that the list of select options from the searchlink field appears properly in front of everything, which in my opinion makes more sense than changing the height of the window, because:

  • currently the height seems to be automatically determined based on the amount of UI elements to display in the dialog
  • with having control over the height you could end up with not so “nice” looking dialogs (i.e. too much whitespace)
  • most likely only changing the height of the dialog, will not fix the issue you see on the image (where the dropdown selection values appear “cut-off”)

Feel free to raise a service request for product P136 - Message Extensions.

Greetings,

Miroslav
