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.

    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.

    Hey Microsoft!

    You say "100 votes in 90 days and we'll get back to you"

    Its now 2020 and this has 234 votes. It is time for you to stop ignoring your community and respond.

    Ridiculous.

    Allow the site owner, not just the admin to control the behavior because most of the time admins are not UX professionals. I want to really see the studies Microsoft has conducted to make these useless changes or is it just one morning someone decides let me play with the features and mess everything for everyone else, who cares! ?

    The menu should be expanded and highlighting the correct link location in the menu when following a link from another page.
    Currently the menu stays collapsed and the user is kept guessing where they are within the page.

    Agreed, not having the option confuses the user when it changes from expanded to collapsed automatically. We need an option to define what should be the default behaviour.
