Add ability to Collapse/Expand Attribute category sections in Asset Search Pane

By default, the attributes shown for an asset in the Asset Search Pane, are all shown under their categories with no ability to collapse a given section. The can mean that the user has to scroll down a considerable amount in order to find the attributes they need (see screenshot 1). Screenshot 2 shows an example of how the "Real-Time Data" may be beneath under attribute sections, that while may be important at times, are not collapsible to make it quicker and easier to get to a section the user may access much more frequently. Of course, one can make "Hidden" the attributes that are less-frequently used, but then of course, they are no longer accessible in Vision.

    There should also be an ability to not group by category (i.e., view as a list). I have attributes assigned to multiple categories, which makes the list extra long. Combine this with the inability to collapse a category and, after viewing a child attribute, the return to the top of the list (a bug?) instead of back to the parent attribute I just clicked into, the side panel is quite cumbersome to work with.

    Provide a feature in PI Vision to allow collapsing category to hide attributes within that category on left panel.  Some attribute lists are quite long and Category only provides a "heading" for grouping those attributes.  Allowing attribute list collapse by Category, and an option to default that functionality, would eliminate the option of using Attribute Parent | Attribute Child option, which is confusing.

    This would make things much easier for user and installer. I know currently I can make attributes and have sub attributes and achieve a similar result in coresight, but it adds confusion and complexity to building the elements in excel etc. it would be extremely handy and seems easy enough to make the categories default to collapsed in coresight.

    Whats the Status of this request? When there a lot of Attributes in one Element, it's really hard to find the needed Attribute. Even there Categories. The ability to collapse and expand attributes-groups (based on the categories) would be really helpful. If Collapsing/Expanding is not possible a filter function for the Attributes (e.g. filtering on categories, datatype,...) would help.
