I was curious about a question someone asked on the Community about auto-expanding the stage field on the Order Status page for Service Catalog Requests, so I did a little digging and came up with a pretty simple solution that works quite well I believe.
Step 1. open the "com.glideapp.servicecatalog_checkout_view" UI Page record
Step 2. Look for the following line of code:
<g:inline template="item_workflow.xml"/>
Step 3. Add 3 lines of code to end up with:
<g:inline template="item_workflow.xml"/>
<script>
togglePreference("$[sc_req_item.sys_id]");
</script>
Now when your users submit an order the Stage field is automagically expanded to reveal all the stages:
As the page is created, the togglePreference() function is called for each item, expanding the stage field by default. It is currently running in demo10 at the moment.
Reminder: modifying the out-of-box "com.glideapp.servicecatalog_checkout_view" UI Page means you will own it from now on, and you will not receive any automatic updates to it. I don't find it to be a big deal, as you can always grab the newest code, make your appropriate changes and save it again in your instances.
