Revit 2027.2 - Right click over Project Browser for "Collapse All Folders" has been disabled?

Just installed Revit 2027.2 and it appears that the right click over Project Browser for "Collapse All Folders" has been disabled. I think this is probably an oops but we need it back pronto. I use this function about every 20 seconds. Please fix factory.

This sounds like it should be posted in the Ideas forum.

WOW... A lot of other right-click functionality within the Project Browser disappeared as well...

Someone seems to have gotten carried away with their "Streamlining and Modernizing" theory somewhere (just like they have with removing the options Bar without adding those options to the Modify contextual tab in many cases). A lot of these things don't get used daily and they can be overlooked until... you need them and they're gone.

These programmers need to start actually using the software that they're programming, but we've gotten so far away from that concept that we have a serious dis-connect between them and us.

Will R2026 go into history as the last good Revit? All I read are regressions and problems. And the "new features" list isn't compelling at all.

I assumed we would think about upgrading to R2027 end of 2026 or early 2027. But now I think we may as well skip R2027 and hope for R2028 being better.

I used to be excited to install the new version in April right after release. Now I'm excited about the fact that R2026 will be supported for some more years 🙂

Edit: there doesn't seem to be an official bug report site. Google suggests to create a ticket for bugs.

Ideas forum seems to be an odd place for bug reports. The fact that bugs should be fixed isn't a "new idea". that should be a given. IMHO ideas forum is for new feature or improvement of feature suggestions.

And OP is correct to come here first to confirm this happens to more people or if there isn't a hidden fix/setting. Confirm it is a bug before reporting a bug.

An obvious bug is obvious, why would he report a bug in the ideas forum?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to fix it?

I asked the Autodesk Assistant to collapse all in the project browser in the Views tab and this is part of what it came back with:

⚠️ Important — Revit 2027

The "Expand All" / "Collapse All" option is currently no longer available in the Project Browser in Revit 2027. This is a known issue that has been reported and logged by Autodesk.

In the meantime, you can still expand individual branches by:

Clicking the + icon next to a node to expand it.
Using the arrow keys to navigate between branches.
Right-clicking a specific node and selecting Expand Selected (if available).

Also provided the source documentation: https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Collapse-All-option-no-longer-available-in-project-browser-in-Revit-2027.html

So apparently, they had an oopsie and messed up... I ASSUME we'll get that back with a 2027.2.something hot fix to restore those capabilities. Hopefully sooner than later!

Perhaps they need a flood of upvotes to this post to help them along?

It looks like this problem has been fixed in todays release of RVT2027.3. Thank you Autodesk.
