What is the proposed idea/solution?

In interface page layouts, add the ability to collapse groups so that the header is visible but the fields nested beneath are not. An added bonus would be the ability to select whether a group is expanded or collapsed by default in the page template....

How does is solve the user problems?

I have several interface page views that are quite long, and not all groups are applicable to all records. Allowing me to collapse the groups that are not relevant would make it easier for me to see and edit the most important information efficiently.

How was this validated?

This is generally accepted as useful functionality and exists in other places in the Airtable app. Google docs just recently added this functionality as well. 

Who is the target audience?

Anyone using interface page views with many forms/groups

100% needed!

Though you can use a workaround which is using visibility rules with the update record button.

Let me know if you're interested, I can run you through the process.

I just came here to suggest exactly this feature. I've been expecting it for months since it seems relatively easy and have a huge impact.

Would love to have the ability to have field groups collapsed or open by default, or even dynamic group names, that could change via a field or even show activity within the group, but I'll settle for the simple accordion.
