When working with grouped or hierarchical tables, all sub-rows expand by default every time the board is opened or refreshed. For large tables with many grouped items (e.g., project trackers with 10+ sub-tasks per project), this creates visual clutter and requires manual collapsing each session.
Requested Feature:
Add a table setting to set the default state of grouped/hierarchical rows to "collapsed" so that only parent rows are visible when the board loads.
Ideal Implementation:
- A toggle in table settings: "Default view: Expanded / Collapsed"
- Persist the state per table widget
- Users can still manually expand individual groups as needed
I manage a tender tracker with 20+ projects, each containing 10+ sub-rows for stages (kickoff, engineering, commercial, etc.). Having all rows expanded by default makes it hard to scan the overview. A collapsed default would let me see all projects at a glance and drill into details only when needed.
Impact:
This would significantly improve usability for project trackers, roadmaps, and any structured data with hierarchical grouping.
