The Right Arrow key collapses while the Left Arrow kew uncollapses.

There's not much one can help you with.

The only way to collapse properties is by using the command ID you have in your script.

One altrnative that might help, depending on your situation, is to duplicate the effect control, delete the original, and rename the new one to the old name.

Hi, it's 2 years too late, but it can help other people.

You can try to execute the command twice. The first finish to expand the properties, and the second collapse it. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

app.executeCommand(2771);
app.executeCommand(2771);
