Open advanced tab in edit boxes by default?

    Hello,

    I usually set up all my form elements - with (unfortunately) scant regard for using consistent names or shoddy conditionals. Then I find myself going back into the panels and editing them all sequentially to clean things up.

    Is it possible to set all panels - either in a given form, or across all forms to open the advanced properties by default? This would be really useful to me.

    Thanks in advance for any help. This is a great forum and have learnt a lot just by reading others questions/responses.

  2. I'll ask the development team about this one. There is no built in way to do this but maybe there is some jQuery we can add to the form builder, via your functions.php, that will open the advanced tab by default. It might be too complex a customization to handle, but I will ask anyway.

  4. The field settings panel/div is actually shared across every field. There is only one instance of it (even though it looks like every field has its own). The div is positioned properly and loaded with data depending on which field is active at the time. Because of that, unfortunately it isn't possible to expand all fields at once.
