Making collapsed the default view on an Ideas Exchange

Hey dementad,

The collapsed/expanded view is currently controlled by a setting that is not exposed through the UI. The good news is this can easily be set without having to write/run any custom javascript or css.

You have two options on how to do this:

1) Open a ticket with support for them to set the default setting to collapsed

2) Make an API call as an admin to set the setting

.../settings/name/layout.message_view/set?value=collapsed

Note, for both options you will want to decide if you want this setting set on the community level or at specific board/category/node level.

In the restapi above you can replace ... with something like /boards/id/[board-id] to scope the call to a board.

I will also see if we can get this setting exposed through admin so that it will be simpler to manage.

Hope this helps,

Yuri
