I would like to request the addition of several core capabilities that are currently missing in the Tree View component:

  • Drag & Drop 
  • Add Expand All and Collapse All to (Custom-) Actionbar
  • HTML Tooltip
  • Lazy loading of child nodes to improve performance when working with large hierarchies

Also missing, the option to in-/exclude the Tree in Conditional Layouts

@Harm Horstman Some things you're asking are actually already supposed to work or are planned already:

  • Drag & Drop should work, if not please raise a ticket. Check this topic for some setup support if needed: Drag and drop direction | Thinkwise Community
  • Expand/Collapse all buttons should automatically come available (if they are enabled) whenever a grouped component is used, this works for Tree / Grid / Pivot grid and Scheduler alike. Note that by default these buttons are configured to show in the Overflow menu. It could work fine to have those shown on the Action bar by default, as they only show if relevant. You can configure that on the Default or Custom action bars.
  • Smarter pagination and loading is something we plan to tackle for all kind of grouped Components. This is in the works for the coming half year.

HTML Tooltip and a separate ‘Apply to Tree’ setting sound like good, but 2 different Ideas. I'll rewrite this one to focus on HTML Tooltip, can you create a separate one for the ‘Apply to Tree’ setting?

@Arie V, Are you sure the Expand/Collapse all buttons exists for the tree component? I upgraded today to the latest release of the platform (2026.2) en GUI (2026.2.13) and still do not see the expand and collapse buttons and see no option to activate them.

I did some investigation myself after seeing the buttons in the “Validitie Definition” tab in the “Creation” screen of the Software Factory and found the solution.

The menu options “Collapse All” and “Expand All” were not present in the model’s default action bar. It seems these options are not automatically added to older application models. I’ve now inserted them into the action_bar table via SQL, after which I was able to add them to the custom action bars as well.

Hmm, these actions predate the introduction of the Action bar introduced with Platform version 2025.1.

They were not available in Model overview > Branches > tab General settings > tab Default action bar at all? Or were they available but in inactive state?

If not available at all, could you raise a ticket on the SF in TCP and state the customer and current version of the Platform? I’d like to have this investigated.
