Option to collapse node form sidebar accordions

Created on 5 November 2020, over 4 years ago

Problem/Motivation

When editing content, the default behaviour of most admin themes is to expand the node form sidebar accordions if their fields are populated. For example menu settings.

Whilst this does not make much different when creating new content, it does make for a very noisy and confusing UI when editing content.

I can understand why some think this is a good default behaviour, but it would be good to have a choice.

Proposed resolution

Please provide a theme setting to always collapse node form sidebar accordions.
