Set the default size of the "Options"panel/ frame/window in the Input Data tool

I work with lots of Excel files, and because they don't always consistent schema, I'm often changing the configuration.

The default Window frame/window for the "Options" panel in the Input data tool only shows 3-4 rows, plus title (the section in RED in the image below).  As I have large screens 

 

The panel size can be resized by dragging the line above the "Preview (first 100 records)".  However, once I move from this tool, if I return to the tool, it defaults back to 3-4 rows, plus title.

 

I would like to be able to set the default size of the Options panel/frame/window.

  • This would improve my efficiency when setting up flows
  • This would improve debugging - I would be able to see all my parameters at a glance
