Close nodes in Tree View widget

[Brian Milby]

Could you open a bug report/enhancement request for this? I’ll see what I can do about a PR targeting 9.1 release.

I can think of several ways to address the situation. Easiest would be to reset the array that handles what is expanded when the data array is changed. Would not be hard to add a separate handler to collapse all nodes.

Once done, you could pull the updated source and compile/use locally until it makes it into a release.

Thanks,
Brian
