Description
Sometimes it is better that an AC control displays more of the available options even if a single selection will be made. For example, the AC display of files in a folder benefits from displaying more than a single file even though a single file will be selected by the user. Currently, an expanded display (displaying 5 option values) is available only for an AC multi-select control. Perhaps, we can introduce a user-selectable configuration option that controls the number of the displayed options.

I wanted to create a new similar feature request but found this ticket, so add comments here
I use 'Active choice reactive parameter' with multi select or checkboxes
Now number of visible items is 10 but I have a list 40-50 items (see JenkinsMulti10.png).
Scrollbar and filter can help to select items but it will be better if all of them will be displayed
'Extended choice parameter' has property 'Number of Visible Items' - is it possible to introduce similar to Active Choices?
So is it possible to change priority to this ticket and implement this feature?

Added two options, under each parameter type. The options are in the Advanced section.
The checkbox should be checked by default. It is a flag that when unchecked disables a verification step that checks whether the number of elements in the return array is bigger than 10.
The input text is used for the number of visible items displayed. If the checkbox is enabled, it has no effect. As the default behavior doesn't allow to change the number of visible elements.
But when the checkbox is unchecked, this value is used to specify the number of visible elements.
Code in a branch in GitHub. Attached binary plug-in file. Could you try it locally, see if that makes sense, and if that works as expected, please Ioannis Moutsatsos

Hi alex alekhin
Thanks for searching for open issues. It helps us tremendously with triaging issues.
>'Extended choice parameter' has property 'Number of Visible Items' - is it possible to introduce similar to Active Choices?
I think so!
>So is it possible to change priority to this ticket and implement this feature?
I rarely look at priorities here in JIRA. As I am currently working on something else (Python & weather forecast models orchestration, completely unrelated to active choices) I don't have any $work time to work on active choices. So it's 100% volunteer/spare time.
If you are able to provide a pull request, it'd be faster to review, discuss, release. We had a meeting this week to discuss what issues we must include in the next release, which we are planning to prepare soon. Can't promise to include this one, but if I have spare time I can try
Thanks!
Bruno
