Resolution
Explanation Provided:Here's the explanation for the issue:
- The primary data of the tree grid is the top level entry. The tree grid provides an easy way of drilling down into data when needed.
- Showing results(filtering in child nodes), can be confusing UX for the user.
Sample Case : A top level item(child item being collapsed) showing even when it does not match the filter criteria just because a child element some levels deep matching the criteria.
