Global expand/collapse of Category subcategories

Will Fiveash

I would like to see support for globally expanding or collapsing all the subcategories in the Categories window.

Hello All,

The Community Support team regularly reviews long-standing posts and Ideas for relevancy and current interest. This Idea seems to have stalled and we would like to gauge the current interest in this request. 

If you would like to see this idea implemented, please add your vote and a comment explaining how this idea would be beneficial for you. More information, including steps to vote and how to submit your own Ideas for future product features/improvements, is also available here.

Thank you,

Quicken Community Support Team

This is such a straightforward request that I can't find much to add to explain why it would be useful. The Categories window can be quite a slog to scroll through looking for something or merging categories; it would be much easier at times to be able to Collapse All and expand only what you need.

Yup.

Surely there must be more to say to explain how this is beneficial...

Quicken is looking for more input to "comment explaining how this idea would be beneficial" because I guess it is not very evident.

And surely something so small needs a lot of votes to be considered. Never mind that many ideas have been implemented with VERY FEW votes... just a comment directly to Marcus sometimes is enough to get action.

But it seems the ONLY criteria being used for forum IDEA threads is vote counts, even though there may be merit in spite of that. Never mind the consideration that the big issues are the ones that will get the most attention at the moment but eventually once those are out of the way these smaller ones would still need attention. but if they are relegated to the ARCHIVE pile, they may not see the light of day again and will lose any info garnered up to that point.

Seems very short-sighted.

Actually, that's not correct. If you go back and look at the post by the moderator above, this one is "gauging current interest" and is NOT saying it will be archived if it doesn't get more traction. These are to stir the pot and see if more interest is generated when idea are pulled into the sunlight. There is different text they use for threads -- usually ones with very few votes -- which they say will be archived within a week without more feedback. If this thread doesn't get more votes and comments, it will not be archived; it will just continue to sit in the large pool of ideas for potential future consideration.

You are correct about this thread.... I just went a little broader in my response because I have seen so many go that way.
