Scorecard - Collapse Submetrics by default
Can you try adding your scorecard as a visual in a Power BI report, collapse everything to your liking, save that state as a bookmark, publish to the service and see whether that would meet your requirement, even if not as directly as you might have liked?

I have not tried this so if you try it please report back the result!
Thanks for taking the time to reply otravers!
I have tried what you mentioned in your post. I brought the scorecard into the desktop app, collapsed the main goals, saved the view as a bookmark, but the Publish button on the app itself is grayed out and it will no allow me to publish the scorecard from the App.
I've never attempted to build a scorecard from the desktop app, so it's entirely possible I'm missing a step or doing something wrong - any ideas?
Did you save your PBIX file on your PC? Whether the visual is a scorecard or something else should have no incidence on whether you're able to publish, and I see from your screenshot that you already logged in against the Power BI service.
I figured it out. The app wouldn't give me the ability to publish until I actually had some sort of data in the model. So I built a placeholder table and voila, it gave me the ability to publish to the service.
Anyways, I published the Scorecard as a report to the service but the collapsed metrics did not carry over. When I accessed the report in the service, they were all expanded again. I activated the bookmark in the service and it didn't change anything either - the metrics stayed expanded.
I even noticed that when I saved the PBIX file with the metrics collapsed and re-opened the PBIX file, the metrics and sub-metrics were expanded again.
