James is hoping to land the PUI replacement GUI in this dev cycle (at least as a proof-of-concept, probably not as the default UI), so wouldn’t expend lots of effort on things like collapsible sections which might be a lot of work with the current approaches, but are trivial with the new UI scheme.<ref>{{cite web

James is getting really close to having the PUI replacement UI suitable for beta-testing, so if this is for ‘nice to have’ things, it’s maybe not worth the effort.<ref>{{cite web

Technically, this entails replacing dialog.cxx with some code which builds up some special ‘PUI-Emulation’ QtQuick controls, so that existing dialogs (especially from Aircraft) continue to work. This mode will look somewhat ugly but hopefully no more ugly than PUI! And it helps that the set of widgets we have in PUI is limited, and the ‘tricky’ widgets (map, scrolling list, etc) are in the dialogs will will replace with new ones first.<ref>{{cite web
