Export for Screens - bigger window size for "prefix"
On export for screens, the "prefix" section: In addition to adding a checkbox for AI filename, make the prefix window longer. I frequently have longer prefixes and it is a minor pain to scroll over to change a prefix name. There's plenty of room in that box to make it the width of the rest of the export screen.

Stupidity at its highest! Export for screens should have a lot of checkboxes and drop downs for things (profiles), or the option to check something in the profile, which doesn't disappear or revert after the update! So I can see if everything is correct before I export, not after! Checks for: bleed or no bleed, template layers included or not, art optimized or text optimized, include filename or not. Dropdown for CMYK or RGB.
Why "prefix" field is so short?! Has anyone looked at it before releasing it?!
I kinda want to make a "feature request" named "everything wrong with "export for screens"... mad as F! 😡 -
The problem with that input is that the space to the right of it is used to display the name of the asset/artboard you’ll get, when you hover over formats’ controls — take a look at the screenshot attached. But yeah, it makes little sense... we need the team to redesign this window to allow to display all the data untruncated. The prefix is as much as important as dynamic postfixes.

A larger space is very much needed. so hard to customise names for mulitple outputs, or as @mike choo suggested a check box for the file name to be added

I agree – extend it to the edge like this

I fully second this - having a larger 'Prefix' box would make managing longer file names much easier. I often have to use a specific naming structure that is much longer than the box currently allows.
