Retain the expand \ Collapse optioned on next hierarchy

I feel I am missing something obvious here!

 

My matrix has 4 rows.  At level 1 it has the expand + sign next to the first row, and also the +\- options is set on in the visual settings.  Level one expands showing the next layer below that,  also with the option to expand to level three of the hierarchy etc

 

However, if you hit the double down arrows (Go to the next level of the hierarchy) on the matrix header and drop down a level, you lose the ability to expand level two, even though there are a futher two levels below this.  

 

Is there a funtion to retain this ability?

Hi @RobbLewz ,

 

Yes,it is by design. However, if you want to keep the ability to expand next level, you could click the tree arrows(Expand all down one level in the hierarchy).
