Left menu/submenu expand and/or collapse default behavior setting

In modern view sites, the current left menu/submenu default behavior for submenu items is set to collapsed (this was changed from expanded about a year ago). There should be a way to select the default left menu/submenu expansion and contraction behavior either at the menu level, or at the very least at the site level. The current behavior of collapsed hides much of the functional items available on the site, that is, unless users have expanded the left menu enough to where they have committed the menu structure to memory - a tiresome exercise.

    Agree, I want to set my Quick Launch to default to expanded so it opens this way, otherwise people miss what's on the menu and ignore the rest of the site!

    It would be great to options to choose the expand or collaspe default behavior.

    Dear Team,
    Please provide an option to change the default behavior from collapse to expand.
    It is not only inconvenience to many non-tech business users, it is very hard for them to click on the left most arrow precisely to change expand/collapse behavior.
    Generally those users click on the labels of 'List', 'Library' and Discussion' and this opens the Site Contents page and they stumbled upon.

    Would really love to see this come back ! Its actually really annoying that you cant see it expand by default on desktop view

    Please, are there any updates on this topic after all the time? It would be very helpful. Thank you

    Any update? I work for an organisation with 700 employees who would benefit from this

    would very much like to see the ability to keep the node highlighted and open when you click on an item in the tree.

    It would be really helpful if the menu would be expanded when a user visits a page in its submenu. When following a link the menu does not reflect properly where the user actually is as part of the page navigation.
