CQ5.3 with Feature Pack 30015: Site Admin and DAM Admin Folders with Sub-Folders are Not Expandable

After installing Feature Pack 30015 in CQ5.3, some folders that should be expandable in the Site Admin or DAM Admin tree panel are no longer expandable.

A limitation was added to the Site Admin and DAM Admin as part of Feature Pack 30015. The default limitation is 30. This means if a folder has more than 30 sub-nodes, it will not be expandable.

You can increase the limit to 500 by doing the following:

1. Login to /crx as admin, e.g. http://<host>:<port>/crx/login.jsp
2. Open CRX Explorer
3. Browse to /libs/wcm/core/content/siteadmin and set a property treeAutoExpandMax of type Long with value 500
4. Browse to /libs/wcm/core/content/damadmin and set a property treeAutoExpandMax of type Long with value 500
5. Save all

Alternatively you can create an overlay in the /apps section as well. The steps almost remain the same. 

1. Login to /crx as admin, e.g. http://<host>:<port>/crx/login.jsp
2. Open CRX Explorer
3. Create the same structure as /wcm/core/content and /libs/wcm/core/content underneath /apps.
4. Copy the siteadmin and damadmin nodes from /libs/wcm/core/content/siteadmin and /libs/wcm/core/content/damadmin respectively.
5. Browse to /apps/wcm/core/content/siteadmin and set a property treeAutoExpandMax of type Long with value 500 and set a lower value for sling:vanityOrder
6. Browse to /apps/wcm/core/content/damadmin and set a property treeAutoExpandMax of type Long with value 500 and set a lower value for sling:vanityOrder.
7. Save all
