When running a command with a long response in canton console, the response will be abbreviated eventually.  
How do you ensure that the full response to a command is printed and that it’s not abbreviated with ellipses?

Hi Darko

You can wrap the response from the command in a `show(..)`. That way the full response is printed in the console and not abbreviated anymore.

Could you expand on how to do this?

I tried for example `show(participant.topology.namespace_delegations.list())` and this doesn’t work for me, many fields are still printed abbreviated.
