Feature #29034

Option to collapse/expand issue sections
0%
Description
In #29027, I've proposed to add an collapse/expand feature to issue sections.
Below there are 2 proposals:
1. Collapse/expand only for the following sections: Description, Attachments (#29033), Subtasks and Relations.
2. Collapse/expand also for the Attributes section (this one requires more UI changes):

First of all, this is overall a nice feature and I would be glad to have at least one option accepted.
If I could choose I would be in favor of the second option even if it leads to more changes. Like in #29033 the 'Attributes' heading gives the view more structure and divides the issue in logical sections. I think it gives the issue a nice looking header bar on top, too. The second advantage is that if the attributes page is collapsed it would release space to look at the other sections and don't have to scroll up and down to get to my information, especially on issues with many attributes. This could make a huge difference for people like me who are sitting in front of a Chromebook or small laptop with a lower resolution.
As you can see the attributes section takes around 30% of the space dedicated to the issues information.
So plus one for the proposal and plus one for option 2.

Here is a patch that can be applied on top of #29033 and can be used to test this expand/collapse feature. If the feedback is positive, I'll add another patch that moves the attributes to their own section (like in the second proposal) and another one to memorise the state of the section using local storage.

With these 2 patches, my second proposal is almost ready.
Still on my to do list:- memorise the state of the section using local storage

Thanks for the patches Marius!
The patches from #29033 and #29263 applied flawlessly and look good to me.
Somehow the patch 0002-adds-some-padding-to-issue-section-content.patch refuses to apply in my environment.
Could you please check if its applying cleanly on your side?

I also think there's some additional JavaScript magic necessary, isn't it?
Something like in source:trunk/app/views/versions/index.html.erb#L89 ...

Thanks for testing it. Yes, I'll take a look these days.

I'm not sure for why do you think that we need some additional JS magic. My fist patch (0001-option-to-collapse-expand-issue-description-files-fu.patch) already adds a new JS function to manage the toggles.

Oh my, I shouldn't test patches after a hot summer day at work.
I totally oversaw the first patch. If it's applied everything else applies properly,too.
And so far it works great!
On the collapse/expand all subject it's perhaps a good idea to make it similar to the existing feature in the issues list where you can expand/collapse all categories at once. I think this would be a very consistent experience.

I think we actually save space when we can collapse some sections by default. Having to collpase sections manually to save space each time we display an issue doesn't sound so much usefull to me.
Can we have more feedback on this proposed change?

+1 for this feature, would be really nice to have.

It probably makes sense to collapse the files section by default. Usually the user downloads the files when they start working on the issue and they don't need to see the full list after that.
