What do you think that we use instead of a checkbox to expand/collapse a table subgroup? I feel like 'checkbox' to expand wouldn't be the best practices. Image attached.enter image description here

This looks like a perfect candidate for plus (+) and minus (-) icon because of the accordion nature of the ui.

See smashing magazine article on this design pattern.

The choice of icon doesn't matter too much as long as it's not too confusing. I think the checkbox is not the right use here because a checkbox usually denotes a boolean choice within the context of a form.
