Keep expanded state for details in the Environments page

Release notes

Problem to solve

As a user, I want to see the details for an environment when browsing the overview page at a glance, so that I can quickly understand what's going on with my deployments.

Intended users

User experience goal

The user should be able to see the details for an environment without having to click the show details button.

Proposal

  • In the environments page, we will remove the show details button and the expand/collapse functionality that is triggered when the user clicks on it.
  • The user should always see the triggerer, job, and branch information.
  • This will remove one click from the UI interaction.
