<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The bit of code controlling the expand/collapse of documents (in 3.3.10) is in package EPrints::Plugin::InputForm::Component::Documents in the render_content function.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Around line 270 (<a href="https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/InputForm/Component/Documents.pm#L270">https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/3.3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/InputForm/Component/Documents.pm#L270</a>)
it determines whether or not to collapse (hide) the document section. If you override this function to set $hide to always be 0 (zero) then your document sections should always be expanded. (I assume you frequently have more than one document per eprint
as otherwise it should appear expanded by default)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br>
We are using EPrints 3.3.13.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On the Document Upload screen, is there a way to have the “Show Options” fields expanded automatically after uploading a file?? This way, our staff would be able to see the file metafields which they have to enter, without
expanding the Plus sign. One less click is always useful !!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I tried looking at the EPrints documentation and couldn’t find any answer or hints….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
