Expected behavior:

I can set all the expansion defaults for a menu on the menu's page, so one page build, checks, and one submit.

Current behavior at admin/structure/menu/manage/management:

I must go into each menu item to set its expansion (as in older versions of D6). Multiple page clicks, multiple page builds, multiple submits.

Expansion defaults should be a function of the menu (the context) and not the menu item.

For those that find this issue because you DO wonder where the "expanded" checkboxes went on the menu_overview_form, I have added a module: http://drupal.org/project/menu_expanded which adds them back in for those who DO like them on the interface, and need to set a lot of menu items to expanded quickly, and on the same screen as we were used to prior to D7.

Since this didn't make it back into core because of #564886: Remove 'expanded' checkbox from menu item overview, this module will bring it back for those of us that do want/use it on a regular basis, or just need/want to expand a long list of menu items on a single page.

Thank you! It's nice to be able to expand all the menus one wants in one fell swoop!

In the meantime, I'm marking this one as won't fix for core. Those kinds of big forms are not safe for concurrent edits (imagine what happens when two admins submit the form in the same period of time... so I am not sad to see this go.
