Expand All is still available in the
Custom List app. ;) I've often used a custom page (or more than one) for DSUs in which I've created both Story and Task boards/lists, with saved views filtered on each team member, so we can quickly switch contexts to each person speaking, with the available "all team" view. In filtered views,
Expand All doesn't cause the performance hit that it did on full-page displays where the user may've left them at 50, 100, or 200 item display.
Custom pages can also be tailored to work well on 40" or 70" wall displays in meeting rooms. 8^)
Here's a rough example that's a
planning page, not a daily progress page, but it might spark some ideas.
Note that this custom page does NOT filter on Iteration, but it could, so the User Story list would already be filtered by the current scoped sprint, then could be filtered on Feature, Owner, Expedite, yada yada yada.
Expand All in the app will work pretty speedily with all those filters in place.

Thank you @John Streeter for the suggestion to use the old page but that would not be a long term option as the page will be deprecated in time. Are there any other workarounds?

Hi Jim and all,
I believe the Expand All functionality was removed because it absolutely destroyed performance of the page for most users.
From the Support side of things, I can tell you that we received many many cases regarding the slow performance of the User Stories page in particular - most of which were caused by that little + button! In an effort to improve speed and responsiveness of Rally for all our users, the option was removed. Maybe @Andrea Schilde can comment further.
If you're working on just User Stories, you do have the option to use the old page by just going to the Plan --> User Stories page and clicking the "i" icon to switch:

Prior to the last update, the list views of stories or records in a view had a way to expand all stories or child items under that. With the new UI, is there a way to expend all items at once where the ">" is shown without clicking on each ">"?
We used that feature to conduct meetings and wanted to see if there was an alternative? See attached screenshot for example.
