helmanofer opened a new issue, #13951:
URL: https://github.com/apache/gravitino/issues/13951

   ### What would you like to be improved?
   
   The web UI shows only the outer name of a complex column type. A 
`list<string>` column shows as `list`, a `map<string,long>` as `map`, a struct 
as `struct`, and an external type as `external`, so the element, key, value and 
field types are not visible anywhere in the UI. The REST API returns the full 
type.
   
   This affects both UIs: `ColumnTypeChip` in `web/web` (`label = type?.type`) 
and the column tag in `web-v2/web` `TableDetailsPage` and `ViewDetailsPage` 
(`type.type`).
   
   ### How should we improve?
   
   Render the full type, in the same form as the server's 
`Type.simpleString()`: `list<string>`, `map<string,long>`, `struct<id: long NOT 
NULL,tags: list<string>>`, `union<integer,string>`, `external(...)`, 
`unparsed(...)`. Show the same text as a hover title, since long types (such as 
an external type's catalog string) are truncated.
