This is a good behavior, because when collapsed, it works fine as an expandable list (or even accordion). But try editing your image and getting all the list items together, and you'll see it gets really confusing, and user may tap on save or open an expandable item. Conceptually, when collapsed, they belong to a group, but once expanded, you go deep one dimension, so the element has an entity of its own. Just guessing, of course | |
