Flexible presentation options for editing custom string attributes in context of module views

Beside filling the primary text our users have additional custom attributes filled with meta data. There are also some text attributes, in some of them longer texts are stored.
However, if the user wants to edit this custom text attribute inside the view of the module, the overlay text field, which appears after clicking the edit action, can be very small compared to the text stored inside the attribute. For long text this can make it hard to find and edit the right information.

This is why we request an option to modify the presentation of the overlay text field, e.g. to alter its presentation size (columns / rows) if required. A solution could be to add this information in the type system for the specific attribute, if it is from type String.
Another possibility would be to add a kind of resize option for the overlay text field, so that it can be set larger by the user if required in the situation.

I attached a screenshot, which shows the current state of the overlay editor.
