Keep expanded row details associated with the right item

What to change

Ask the supplier to maintain an explicit relationship between each row's expansion control and its revealed details.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Opening details for one enquiry reveals information labelled for that enquiry, while a second expanded row retains its own separate context.

How to check the result

Accept when expanded content never loses its record association and remains reachable after supported changes to the list.

A mistake to avoid

Placing all expanded details in one detached panel may require a stronger item label because visual proximity no longer supplies context.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.

Decisions to recordExpand two nonadjacent rows and compare their headings or identifiers with the parent rows. Check that each control reports its own expanded state.Use keyboard and screen reader navigation to enter the revealed content. Ask the supplier to show a logical reading position immediately associated with the relevant row.Sort or filter the table while a row is open. Confirm details either remain correctly attached or close with a clear, usable state.
