Disable "Show more/less" Collapsing for Prompts
OpenAI Developer Community
May 8, 2026
Welcome to the community, @niji48 🙂
You both are definitely not the only ones running into this. The extra clicks become pretty noticeable once you’re working with long prompts, revisions, or archived chats. The MHTML behavior is especially frustrating since expanded prompts currently don’t seem to persist in the exported file.
We’ve forwarded the feedback from both of you to the team for logging, including:
* Option to disable automatic prompt collapsing
* Option to keep prompts expanded by default
* Preserving expanded state in exports/saved MHTML files
This feels like a UX change that helps readability for some cases but creates friction for heavier workflows, especially writing/editing use cases like yours.
Appreciate both of you sharing concrete examples since that context helps a lot when these requests get reviewed.
