additional collapse mode for stacked inlines

[etanter]

Hi!

There are currently two options to collapse stacked inlines:

• collapse: shows only the title when collapsed, but the title doesn't show the count of inlines, and when the title is expanded, each entry is expanded too
• collapse-entry: shows title + collapsed entries, and title shows the count of inlines

I'm looking for a mix: show only title + count when collapsed, then clicking on title shows collapsed entries.
Another way to put it: a version of collapse-entry in which the title bar itself can be collapsed/expanded.

Do you think you could add this feature?

Thanks!

Hi @etanter, actually I cannot see the "count of inlines" in my apps. What am I missing? Can you share a screenshot?

@abidibo I looked into it and the count of inlines was there because of a (old?) edit_inline/stacked.html template (that I had customized in order to grab a custom name for the group of inlines), which has ({{ inline_admin_formset.formset|length }}). That must be legacy django admin template code.

Independent of this counting stuff, the main feature I was requesting is the option to have a version of collapse that when expanded shows the collapsed entries instead of all entries expanded (could be named collapse-collapsed-entries or something like that).

But I'm now pondering whether it would be a useful addition or not for my project. So feel free to close if you don't see it as an interesting feature.

Thanks again!
