Retain position in Data Rules tree when returning from viewing run history and rules edit

I'm working through a list of rules.  Everything I need to look at are in the same folder.  That's the good news.  HOWEVER, there's no value to that because when I return to the Data rules tree it is fully closed.  Much time will be spent getting back to where I need to be.   Even with a minimal folder structure this will waste time for any user.

Try this approach when changing rooms in your own house.  You're in the kitchen and want to go to the den BUT you have to start from the front door.
