I have a kendo dropdown tree with a selected value that was there on initialization. When the user clicks on the dropdown for the first time, I want the list to auto expand the selected node so the user can see it the child item. How do I do this? 

Similarly, I would like the user to be able to click on a parent node and, instead of selecting the parent node, since that isn't allowed in my case, it should just expand so they can see the children.

Hi Lee,

You can take a look at the following forum thread where such an issue is discussed:

- https://www.telerik.com/forums/expand-node-with-single-click#4708390

As in the thread an old version is used here you will find a Dojo example using the latest version and classes: - https://dojo.telerik.com/@NeliK/ITuYUMOj

In addition, please find below the article where the fields of the DropDownTree items are described. If you set the expanded option to true for each item it they will expanded when rendered.

I hope this helps.
