Is it possible to programmatically expand or collapse a Group section?

Thanks...

Yes. As per the Dashboard readme [https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-dashboard](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-dashboard)  
ui\_control node section

Sorry, tcontrada asks for programmatically collapse a Group.  
I see Dashboard readme and ui\_control node section a there is only hide/show option for group

Better idea?
