How to conditionally allow expand a row in expand pane from repeating grid
I have a repeat grid with master detail "expandable rows" type. Configuration below:
Business requirement is that when status property have one of allowed values, disallow to expand a row. For example, if status = closed (pre-last column), when user clicks an expand icon, nothing happens, or expand icon just disabled / not visible.
How can I accomplish desired behavior? It is possible for collapsible container for dynamic layout (with Expand when), but as I can see, there is no baseclass property like pyExpandable for grid row.
I tried to set pyExpanded on property status change (in action set), but it doesn't work for me, even if I set "Enable displaying details on multiple rows". Also I tried to customize pyPreGridUpdate and pyPostGridUpdate Activity with EDITITEM grid action. Finally, I can't found template for expandpane header, where I could set visibility condition for expand icon.

Hello Alexander,
Thanks for posting your query in PSC :)
You may set the "pyExpanded" property to true, for whichever rows you want to expend. Refer Designer Studio >> UI Gallery >> Expand Pane >> Expand Multiple rows example. In the pre-activity of the flow action, you may conditionally set the above mentioned property to true(for all the required rows).
Also, refer the implementation for the Custom link. The expand/collapse icon is shown based on conditional check on pyExpanded, used on layout's visibility.
Verify if this post is helpful at your end.

Hello Rincy,
Thank you for your response!
As I wrote before, I already tried to set pyExpanded and it didn't help. About post under link I saw it before creating post on forum.
Finally, I referred to UI gallery again, and found Custom link implementation. It was useful, I added extra column with icon, visible on necessary conditions.
Best regards,
Alexander
