Option to hide collapsible form

​@rickwenning Without prescribing too much how our Developers should implement this change, but how about changing the newly added ‘Default expanded’ checkbox to e.g. a Domain with Elements that could have the following options?

• Default expanded - collapsible
• Default collapsed - expandible
• Default expanded - not collapsible
• Hide section bar - not collapsible

The 4th option would then cover your Idea, the 3rd option would be a way to prevent users from being able to collapse in the first place.

On the topic of Collapsible form sections, I’m also curious to hear your opinion on this Idea:

• Steer collapsible forms via layout. Under review

Hi ​@Arie V, adding a domain/drop-down with these options would greatly enhance the customizability of the (collapsible) form. 

Regarding Freddy's idea, I think automatically collapsing forms based on customizable logic (e.g. layout functionality) would be great. I upvoted this idea as well. 

Is it safe to assume that you only want to remove this visual segment when the section does not have a title?

Yes, that is it exactly. 

We’ll look into this further; for now, here’s a bit of custom CSS that does exactly that:

.MuiButtonBase-root.MuiAccordionSummary-root.Mui-expanded:not(:has(.MuiAccordionSummary-content span:not(:empty))) {
    display: none;
}

Note that it’s not based on official CSS classes, it has to be verified on Universal releases.

.MuiButtonBase-root.MuiAccordionSummary-root.Mui-expanded:not(:has(.MuiAccordionSummary-content span:not(:empty))) {
    display: none;
}

Thanks ​@Anne Buit, this works like a charm!

​@rickwenning, regarding the option to remove the collapse controller when no title is given for that ‘Field on next tabpage’, the current work around doesn't show a divider.

Before the collapsible form sections, Universal did show a divider between ‘Field on next tabpage’ sections.

Because you are specifically referring to the layout of your form and the desire to remove the collapse bar; is a different visual dividing element something you'd still expect between sections (like a divider line or empty space to emphasize a section)? 

​

@Bart Metselaar I think a divider line would enhance the UX. However, the group title is also a divider. 

If possible, a dropdown option to select which kind of divider (none, line, collapsible) would be great.

We'll basically implement this as default behavior in the Universal UI: if the Section has no title (Tab page label is null), we will remove the Section header bar.

Maybe I shouldn't jinx it, but this change might even make it to next week’s Universal release candidate already! Go ​@Leroy Witteveen and ​@Alexandra Egri 💪

I created a css script that comes closer to the current situation, and I think that a section separation without text should remain visible as a line like it is now.

The problem with this solution is that using the accordion feature on some pages becomes difficult.

Prefixing everything with for example

[data-tab-id]:not([data-tab-id^="ams_"])

Makes it possible to use the feature where you want it, and keep the current state for now where you don’t want it, but it will probably break in a future release.
