Not sure if there is a better place for this suggestion but is it possible to tweak the user interfaces in Bentley products like WaterCAD/GEMS, HAMMER etc. to allow the user to expand/collapse property or symbology fields all at once, i.e. by holding the Ctrl key when expanding/collapsing. As an example, such an option is available in ArcGIS Pro and I find it extremely useful. I am aware of the Predefined views but prefer customizing the view myself. It would be even better if the view (expand/collapse) settings were saved and applied when opening the product next time.
Thank you for this Jesse, very useful and much appreciated!
To close the loop - I received confirmation that “SharedWorkspaces.xml” is indeed the file that stores shared property grid customizations.

Hi Sukru, it appears that Shared Property Grid Customizations are stored in the file named “SharedWorkspaces.xml” (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Bentley\WaterGEMS\10). Please try copying this to the other computer, overwriting their version, but make a backup copy of it first just in case.
I have added a note about this to the Wiki article but I am also confirming with our development team.
A follow up question on this, is it possible to share Shared Property Grid Customizations with other users/computers? I see that the BIN file is saved over when I continue customization but sharing the BIN file with another user (computer) does not appear to be helping/doing anything.
We have documented this in the below wiki for reference;
