**What is the problem you are trying to solve?**

Fragments allow developers to define custom configuration panels using the `fragment json` window. These configurations support grouping fields using `fieldSets`, but all fieldSets are always **expanded by default** when users open the fragment settings panel.

This becomes problematic when fragments contain a large number of configuration groups. Content editors must scroll through long lists of configuration blocks.

Being able to collapse a fieldSet by default would improve:

- **Usability** for content editors

- **Readability** of complex configurations

- **Organization** of large fragments

**What is your proposed solution? (optional)**

Introduce a new optional property “collapsedByDefault“ in fragment `fieldSets` such as:

```json
{
  "label": "Card",
  "collapsedByDefault": true,
  "fields": [
    ...
  ]
}

```
