Using the Template from Taming the Dashboard Dragons, how do I get the Search button to expand a Panel-card-stack?

Hello,

I am trying to get a search button to expand a panel-card-stack that has multiple panels within it.

I would have thought it was just changing the onClick property-set parameters component ID to match the stack ID but that did nothing.

Any ideas?

I think you have to change the property for the stack as well as the individual grids in the stack. When changing the “expand at runtime” property, I have to do it for the stack as well as the grids so it’s probably the same for button events.

Do you mean like adding a second property-set to the onClick like below?

It didn’t work for me.

Yes, one for the stack and one for each of the grids. I tried and it didn’t work for me either. I tried different orders too: (stack, grid, grid) and (grid, grid, stack). You could try expanding the stack in the button onClick event and create a separate event to expand the grids. Or vice versa. You never know … App Studio is quirky :crossed_fingers:

I tried different combinations of Expand at Runtime and expand on button click and couldn’t get that to work either (e.g. Expand stack at runtime and expand grids when Search is clicked or vice versa)

I am unsure on if the property to expand the stack is expanded.

I removed all the grids from the stack and set the property set of the search button to be stack only and it still did nothing.

I wold assume if it was trying to expand, it would have changed the arrow direction on the top left corner at least.

I am hoping someone else might know because my google search is getting me nothing on this.

You could also try EpicCare … :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Just for fun, I went ahead and opened a ticket with a thorough explanation of what is needed.

I will let you know what they come back with.

Hello,

Would you believe that I opened the support case on 2025-10-01, they finally replied on 2025-10-09 with:

Thank you for the provided Meta files.

As I see, there’s no event in ResultsGrid_onExpand.

I’m trying to figure it out how it should be configured and which event should be added there.

And still nothing more since then (even though I asked for an update days ago…)?

After assuring support that there is an issue and it going back and forth this entire time, this is what their answer is:

I’ve got some workaround from Development.
They suggest to use “page-navigate-to”. The grid is still a page, it will expand when navigated to. It can be even better as you want to go to a specific grid anyway.

I don’t even know where to go with this.

No instructions on how to do, just use ‘page-navigate-to’…

Does anyone on here know how this is done?

Any help is appreciated.
