Fold/unfold a group track using the API.

Has anybody found a way to do this directly using the controller scripting API?
I've checked the documentation and it seems this functionality isn't available, but thought I'd ask to see if anyone has?
I'm aware of the shortcut, Fold/Unfold all groups tracks but I'm looking for something specific that will work on a track basis.

No, not possible. Would like to see it too. Complain loudly to Bitwig

If they are reading, BITWIG!!!

Is it possible to programmatically get CursorDevice/CursorTrack for a track in a folded group without unfolding it?

Hmm, played a bit with it but it seems it is not possible. Guess you should contact Bitwig.

It's kinda of possible, if you use createTrackBank(tracks, sends, scenes, false) and have the user use the group selector in the upper left corner, but this method is not purely programmatic, and requires user input, so I'm not sure it fits your criterion.

I read the changelog carefully but still somehow missed that part, thanks!

Anyone get around to implementing this in their scripts?
