Ability to toggle on and off if 'user defined properties' automatically open when opening an objects properties

I am currently in the process of digitising old IAS plans within ICM. Every time I click on an object to assign it a system and surface within the User Defined Properties, I have to click the + symbol to open the properties. This has to be a very accurate click due to the size of the + symbol. This would be a big time saver when carrying out processes that are already click intensive.

    Thank you Patrick, we will engage in consultations with a wider array of stakeholders to gauge their interest and gather additional perspectives on the proposed feature.

    Should we observe a substantial level of enthusiasm and demand, we will be inclined to advance the status of this suggestion to "Under Consideration." This stage will involve a more detailed UX analysis and preliminary planning to understand how this feature could be seamlessly integrated into the software.

    This may help a little bit but would still require the precise click and movement of the mouse.

    If this can not be a toggle'able feature then if it could be made to be open by default that would help.

    However, having all the properties for objects toggle'able would mean all the properties that are not needed can be closed then just have the 'user defined properties' open so you don't even have to scroll down in the properties pain to get to the 'user defined properties'.

    Thank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who voted. I totally agree with your suggestion.

    Do you think that making the symbol (+ and -) a little bit bigger would address this request?

    Aha! Yes, I have to do this ALL of the time as I hid data in the user text and number fields. Thanks for suggesting this!
