I'm using Bootstrap 4.0's collapse component in an accordion similar to what they have on their docs.
<div id="accordion">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header" id="headingOne">
<h5 class="mb-0">
<button class="btn btn-link" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOne" aria-expanded="true" aria-controls="collapseOne">
Collapsible Group Item #1
</button>
</h5>
</div>
<div id="collapseOne" class="collapse show" aria-labelledby="headingOne" data-parent="#accordion">
<div class="card-body">

So Item #1 is expanded by default. Then when you click Item #3, #1 closes and #3 expands... Perfect!
However the default action is that if Item #3 is expanded and you click that heading, the panel closes and you're left with just a list of headings. I'd like to take it one step further where if we close Item #3, Item #1 would expand so it would be the 'default' panel that would be open if no other selection had been made.
I've seen a solution for Bootstrap3 where one panel is always open, but I'd like to be able to have a specific panel (Item #1) as the panel that opens as a backup. This is the script for easy reference:
$('.panel-heading a').on('click',function(e){
if($(this).parents('.panel').children('.panel-collapse').hasClass('in')){
e.stopPropagation();
}
// You can also add preventDefault to remove the anchor behavior that makes
// the page jump
// e.preventDefault();
});
