Implement collapseByDefault on Repeater FormWidget

[zlobec]

How would one tackle the problem, to load all variables (like repeaters and other fields) on page open, to a collapsed state?

Example: I have a gallery with a repeater and + 20 images... and when they all load not collapsed, it takes a while to get to the end of page to add a new image.

Any suggestions?
Regard,
Darjan

@zlobec for now probably some JS is your best bet, or we could add a property to the repeater form widget that loads it in a collapsed state, something like collapseByDefault. Make a PR if you'd like to see that behaviour

@LukeTowers thanks for the response. I haven't got enough experience to start developing solutions for all my problems :D I'll try to find a JS or CSS solution as a quick fix for this.

@zlobec give it a try, you'll probably learn lots :)

For the time website is not in production, I added the class "collapsed" to the _repeater.htm partial in line 7. Crude, but it sorta works for my needs now 😄

@zlobec you might be able to add it in the attributes property
