Hi,

You can do it by javascript using :

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("tabname").setDisplayState('collapsed');

see this link : www.mscrmconsultant.com/.../expand-collapse-tab-using-javascript-in.html

When you save the form in design mode, if you set the tabs to be collapsed, then they should load in this state.

how are the tabs displayed on the design form?

You could then expand them them in the onload using Javascript if you wanted

if the form property is set to collapse, but it still expand, would you have anything like this on a JavaScript?

Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get("<tabName>").setDisplayState("expanded");

this is a client side action, the only 2 reasons it would expand on its own is a JavaScript forcing it or a browser incompatibility.

Just an update to this post trail.

I found another scenario in which the behaviour occurs.

If you have an invisible/hidden field that is in a collapsed tab that you then set to visible (via Business Rules or presumably jscript) during the load event, the tab will auto expand.

Hello,

I also have the same issue.

I have all my tabs collapsed, but when I activate a business rule which hides/shows fields the tab with those values is auto expanded.

Is there a way to resolve this? Also note that I have two identical instances (Production & Sandbox) and i do not get the same issue in the Sandbox.

Thanks'

Alex

I'm also experiencing an issue like this.

Earlier today, while customizing our sandbox-instance, I experienced a bug which I have experienced a couple of times before - where a couple of business rules that manage displaying or hiding a few fields suddenly stop working all together. This leads to me having to completely delete the rule, and rebuild it. But this time this whole tab-expand/collapse thing also happened. 3 tabs in 2 entities now absolutely refuse to collapse by default, no matter what I try. The properties of the tabs/forms clearly indicate that they are set to collapse by default.

I see, based on other posts on the matter, that this has to do with business rules such as the ones I use (show/hide fields), but this is not an issue in the dozens of other show/hide rules I use. Only these tabs.

Is there a straight forward solution to this? Do I have to rebuild my tabs in these entities aswell? Does that even work?

I appreciate any and all answers that can help me with this.
