Groups with the attribute twistie can be expanded and collapsed, to improve the overview within a Form-UI. To expand and collapse you have to click on the triangle, that is displayed at the left border (see the following figure). The triangle with the tip down (2) marks a group that can be expanded, a triangle with the tip right marks a collapsed one. Groups without the attribute twistie or with twistie="false" are always displayed in expanded manner and cannot be collapsed (3).

The attribute expanded controls the appearance of a group whilst opening a Form-UI. If the value is true, then the group is expanded whilst opening, if the value is false, then it is collapsed.
